We only recently got the ability to take out more than 10 books at a time as PhD students and to have loans longer than a month. Online ILL requests were only just implemented. My library is pretty backwards sometimes.

Now I can take 20 out at a time. Not sure about UGs.

But we are a legal deposit library, we have millions of books.

I am so confused by this. UVA had a limit but I think it was... 500? Like no one ever got there (no matter how hard we tried). What even.

Yeah when I was an UG in Canada doing my Honours degree I had 3 month long holds and a max of 50 books to take out I think. But the limit before was still pretty high. But idk, this place feels decades behind with many things.

How bizarre. Where are you again? Feel free to DM if you don't wanna call out your institution publicly lol

To be clear, the librarians try their best and are wonderful but they don’t get paid enough to deal with a lot of the nonsense of having books disappear when on route from off site stacks. The library is hot and dark, with only two bathrooms across the three connected libraries.

No AC, a lack of seating, a search function which seems to not make any sense sometimes (I can type a full title and not get a book but type one word and author surname and I’ll get it). It wasn’t built for accessibility either, the elevators are pretty bad, small, and rickety.
