To all the people in the library… you do not have to speak as loud as you possibly can or yell to your friends who are sitting two feet away from you! You’re in a library first off, have some respect for the people studying around you! There’s a perfectly good bar across the quad where you can be loud and obnoxious. Some people are actually doing work and being productive. Also, I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this, no one here wants to hear you Skyping your friend and telling her all about your sexcapades, honey. Sorry for eavesdropping but you’re basically yelling it to the whole world right now. —Unimpressed SMUdent

Move your shit to the second or third floor. The SMU library’s second and third floors are quiet floors. If people are being douchewads and making noise on those floors, tell someone at the front desk.
Otherwise, that’s what you get for attempting to study on the first floor. Most first floor libraries in universities are loud as fuck…. the killam’s like that, the vaughan’s like that, and the msvu library’s like that to the front on the first floor.
Best library to ‘study’ in where it’s nice and quiet? MSVU library. Plus they don’t require a log in to their wireless like other universities do so non-students can go study there.
its true the MSVU library is the quietest one plus the wireless is just being upgraded with more access points. Also saint marys will be louder this week AUTC is there so there will be more people than normal
I thought everyone knew the first floor of a library is more communal than ‘stricktly studying’.
It’s the major entrance point… you’re going to get people talking.
BTW, You could use ear plugs when studying…
that way you can hear yourself thinking.
Does no-one ever use ear plugs for anything these days?
they were invented for a reason…
Ask the staff to grow a pair and do something about it!
that’s okay o.p., a friend of mine, who was doing med studies fixed them once. he just got up, and said in a very loud voice,” i will be a doctor one day, and i hope i don’t have to operate on you people, because you make so much racket, i can’t hear or study my profession of the future”.
well i guess from what i heard, a pin would have sounded like a sonic boom in there after that. he just picked up his stuff, and walked away. and oh yes, he is a doctor now, and has a very good practice. i go to him, when i need med advice. you just have to know how to say the right things sometimes. by the way, this was the killam library.
Suckster, that doc deserves a medal if he really pulled that off.

Didn’t you know OP? Libraries are community centres now where people can learn what books are about and express themselves in a free and meaningful way.
when i studied first year law at dal., we had almost the same kind of shit, but then the desk clerk had balls, and asked them to either tone it down, or leave. i remember one time, i was doing a case law study there, and this broad started humming and soiigning, with headphones on, i got up, walk over, and slammed down my copy of harvey’s case law, about 12 inches from her. she jumped about 5 feey in the air. a sight to see, i tells ya.
The law library is a horse of a different colour, suckers.
You don’t make a fucking peep ANYWHERE in that library. Ever.
People are such fucking cowards. The OB probably wrote this bitch while glaring and shaking his/her head at the loud folks in the library. Why couldn’t you just ask them to be quiet and respect the people trying to work?
When I was at MSVU for my second year of PR, I had a similar incident with a first year hot shit wannabe muthafucka. He was trying to impress this cute little hunnie dip at his table by talking at normal conversation volume/tone. Being the dapper diplomat I am, I say, “Excuse me, brah, but you know you’re in a library right?” The dude was caught off-guard, obviously, and snidely replied, “Uh, yeah I get that.” So ol’ B-I-S-C played his game and replied, in a firm and masculine voice, “Well shut up and show some class. People are working here.”
Punk mufucka couldn’t believe someone talked to him like that. And guess what? Not a peep out of him any more.
You can solve more problems by taking care of things yourself instead of chumping out and writing some passive-aggressive blog post. Society today *grumbles* IVAN! GET THE TABLES!!!!!
