May 2010 Recap and Poll Results [GlasgowUniPhoto.com]
That’s another term and another academic year behind us. Exams are over, and we eagerly await our results (in other words, constantly and impatiently refreshing WebSurf.) So, where did you all study for your exams? Let’s see the results of the month’s poll:
The two Other answers were “department study room” and “at home with the cats”. I’m kinda surprised that no one studies in a museum, considering the abundance of free museums dotted within and around the University campus. Then again, with a spacious library (although you can never really find a free computer in May), the Kelvingrove Park and the Botanics, and an abundance of cafes around the University, I guess they are more inviting places to study than a museum.
Now, the next months of the summer will be a bit different here at Photos from Glasgow University. Firstly, there will only be one poll for the summer, which I’ll introduce in a bit. Secondly, although I will still post a single photo per day, the updates will come every couple days (hopefully), possibly longer, as I’ll be travelling and otherwise away from a computer and away from Glasgow for the next few months. Thirdly, July will see something completely different, so stay tuned for that.
The poll for the Summer of 2010, which will go on until the end of August, seeks to find out where all the readers of this photoblog come from. In other words, where are you from? I’ve only listed the British Isles and Ireland in the poll, so if you’re from some other country, as many of you probably are, just select Other and type your country of origin in the box.
Below you’ll find thumbnails of all the photos featured this past month. Which was your favourite this month?

Old University Library
At the north-east corner of the West Quadrangle, right by the stairs, is a door above which faint lettering gives one a clue to what used to lie behind that door. From 1870 onwards, the Glasgow University Library was situated in the North Front of the Main Building. It was said to be sufficient space for the needs of a library for some 50 years, but it wasn’t until 1946 that discussion began about the need for a new Library. The current University Library opened in July 1968, just short of the old library’s centennial anniversary.
I’ve never actually been through this door, so I can’t say what the space is used for nowadays. (Added to to-do list)
