While I m astounded at the sheer number of unimaginably inefficient systems that the prestigious Humboldt University library currently has in place, there s one particular practice that has my head reeling. departman za arhitekturu
The library s humble atrium entrance departman za arhitekturu alludes to what one might assume to be a certain degree of practicality governing the intellectual center, but alas, Humboldt s a place where rhyme and reason have been confused. Before passing the uber official elderly guards, you re confronted with the first and most inefficient and inconvenient departman za arhitekturu security measure: mandatory backpack stowage. Keine Rucks äcke ! Absolutely no backpacks allowed beyond the security check.
Imitating airport security regulations is not something I’d expect of such a…a…place. Plastic bags!? The way students walk the library halls with these wasteful departman za arhitekturu (and what s almost worse noisy) departman za arhitekturu clear plastic bags, you d think Humboldt University Library was the biggest departman za arhitekturu damn bookstore you d ever seen. First I thought the swarms of plastic-bag-laden individuals was symptomatic of the semester having just begun that there were simply books to be bought but, no; the German academic semester doesn t even begin until mid-October! This precautionary plastic-bag measure is really just that an implemented, supported system.
You mean to say that this well-revered and respected, departman za arhitekturu progressive university isn t in line with its country s eager beaver Green initiatives? I honestly don t know whether the carrying bags cost a few cents or if they are complimentary, but that concern feels irrelevant. That s more for a discussion on compromise, the paying for bags is. Their bag enforcement is obviously, as mentioned, a security-driven precaution, and is likely meant to keep spaces clear (and therefore safe, as well), but is plastic really departman za arhitekturu the answer? Sure, some students simply carry their things, but most prefer to tote and trot than to juggle and stumble. departman za arhitekturu
Perhaps I’ll post more on the fascinating history of Humboldt library, or rave about the few commendable features the library departman za arhitekturu offers departman za arhitekturu on another day, but for now it feels appropriate to leave you will a beloved, alliterative reminder:
