Sometimes you just need to get your head down and focus on a paper or project you’re working on without being interrupted for a chat every time someone comes into the office.\u00a0In that case, bringing your own device and using the library’s docking stations might be the perfect solution.<\/p>\n

There are also three docking stations in the library at VSD – contact vetlib@qub.ac.uk<\/a> for availability there.<\/span><\/p>\n
