Yes, students always complain about hours, as do faculty , who here at
least want earlier morning hours. In general, these hours have
worked for us for last 15 yrs or so. Our goal is to have a schedule
that has the library open for regularly scheduled degree-program
classes (although there are occasionally exceptions); we do not
have the same concern for CE program classes.
You might try doing hourly counts--that helped us understand our use.
Good luck, Cris Rom, Gund Library, Cleveland Institute of Art
