we have carrels in our university library - wher i be sit at this very moment. "study carrels" to give them their proper name, which sounds a lot grander than what they really are which is a bit of wood with some other bits of wood round it to hide whatever you're doing. and inspire bad graffiti. there are hushed, awe strucken tones given for the special carrels for postgraduate studnts - ie students who actually want to work - which are dark nooks and crannies with glass doors. all rather scarey. believe it or not, as part of my unbelievably dull library studies course we actually have to STUDY optimum use of desk, carrel and shelf space in a library. and people wonder why i hate my course so.... nothing interesting, as ever chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
