Professor Brian Norton:

Let me be clear; we spend 6% of our non-pay budget on library services, not pay. That has remained pretty much constant and has not changed up or down. We have maintained that even though financial pressure on the institution, etc., made that challenging to do. We are committed to providing a full library service to all students. I should say from my direct personal experience - I have the pleasure of meeting students regularly - students from all sites go to all other sites. So, there will be students who are in Mountjoy Square who I will meet in Aungier Street or Bolton Street. They use the other facilities and libraries. They are not that far apart and that is the reality of the DIT experience. Because they are often involved in clubs and societies with other students, etc., there is a lot of moving around. That is just the reality of DIT. They are not kinetic to a location in any way.
