10.01.2022 ! ! Email the Vice Chanellor NOW to share your views (see below). Students already pay huge fees to come to RMIT. Now RMIT has anno...unced a proposal to slash funding for the library. We only have 4 more days to give our feedback on this. RMIT has set the deadline for this Friday 18th of September. If we can make our voices heard before then, we can stop these cuts. What is being proposed? *No library staff on the information desks NO skilled librarians available within the library. *A 72% staffing cut to the "Ask the Library" online chat service. *Closure of the Makerspace No more free laser cutting and 3D printing. *Removal of the Print Collection. No access to hard copy to support different learning styles. *A new Library Connect" - to replace expert advice from qualified librarians. What can I do? *Like and share this post. *Tell RMIT what you think by 18 September. *Email the Vice Chancellor [email protected] and copy RUSU in at [email protected] The more students submit feedback, the more pressure there will be on RMIT to stop these cuts and restore full library services. Not sure what to write? We’ve prepared some points for you below. Use the points you agree with or add your own. *Email subject line: Students say no to library cuts *I am a student at RMIT. *The library is essential for our studies. *There have already been major cuts to the library and we don’t want to see more cuts. *We need professional librarians to support us at all library campuses. *Professional librarians have expertise that we rely on to help us find tools and resources. *I know a lot of people use the library online chat service and we don’t want to see it cut. *We don’t want to see the print collection scrapped or reduced. Some students rely on the print collection and can’t get equivalent resources online. *We need the makerspace to stay open. The technology within the makerspace is essential for some of our courses. Closing the makerspace will make it more expensive for some students to complete their coursework. *Most of my friends feel the same way.
