I don?t know what happened and the administration removed the computer lab from the library which was an aweful decision specially for those students who are writing a research paper. I strongly suggest that library should set back a computer lab, so students can research,write,and print their papers at the same time and same place and they don?t need to run here and there for computer lab. Also Neiu Libray has only one entrance which makes difficult for students, so if they open another entrance in the back side then it will be much easier for students. Most of the libraries have multiple entrances. When i was studying in Neiu there was a computer lab in the library which really help me and other students to do their research papers.

Even the horrible Chicago Public Library has a word processing program!

The librarians suggested I go to the B building. That would be all well and good except I have a REFERENCE book that I cannot take out of the library. I think it's crazy that I have to use Google Docs to write my paper. There was a time when there was a lab with Word that people could come in and do their papers on. I guess that is no longer available. Until the library buys the netbooks what are students like me supposed to do? Oh yeah, use Google Docs. This is ridiculous.

You could install OpenOffice right now for no cost. It is compatible with MS Office and works great. How do you have a library with no word processors? I agree with Robert.

The cafeteria is nearby, but it is not convenient. Why would we have to walk out the library during a cold rainy/snowy day when we can have an eating area inside?

I hope when you say "We are working to resolve this situation this year", you mean this "SEMESTER." Not all of the computer labs at NEIU are suitable for the students who are trying to concentrate, do research and write papers. Most of the labs are noisy. We also have to wait 20 minutes for another student to leave after they spent an hour checking myspace/facebook. We need to be able to write our papers at the library because it is the most quiet place in the entire university. Is NEIU expecting us to turn in handwritten papers to our professors or what?

It is really inconvenient to have the University Library only open until 5pm when folks have research papers to complete, and finals to study for. University of Illinois at Chicago had their Daley library open 24 HOURS during finals week!For the sake of us students, please consider this for next semester's finals.
