Last month, we installed 110 new monitors in the Forum Library. The new monitors are more energy efficient than the older ones and have a built-in HDMI connector. In the coming weeks, we’ll be asking students what they think of both the new screens and the Library's study places.

Study comfortably with your laptop

You can find the new monitors on the 3rd and 4th floor of Forum Library. In addition to the 110 new monitors, 50 old monitors are still available. We've equipped them with an HDMI connector as well, so you don’t need to take your personal HDMI-to-VGA adapter anymore.

We recommend that you always use a laptop riser or monitor when working with a laptop. This can prevent Complaints to Arms, Neck and/or Shoulder (CANS). For tips on CANS prevention and how to adjust your work space, see Safe Science Society.

Your opinion matters

We’d like to know what you think of both the new monitors and the Library as a study place. In the next weeks, Library staff will be walking around to ask your opinion. We appreciate your input as it helps us to keep improving the Library's study spaces in the Library. Thank you in advance for your participation!
