Ways of Administering Self-study Rooms in a University Library

If you have the experience of attending a university in China or know someone with the experience, you must know that seats in the library’s self-study rooms are always in short supply, because there are always more students than the seats due to the expanding enrollment policy in the past years; also because the atmosphere in the library is good for study; one could go to find the info anytime in the library; nobody will drive you away coz the room will be temporarily occupied and…But the short supply of a seat in the self-study rooms has caused many troubles and has always been a headache to the school authority. Recently, a university in Beijing thought out a new way to solve the problem-lottery. The winners in the lottery could use the seat in the following one year. It reminded me about the way of deciding who could buy a car in Beijing. But a seat in a library self-study room is very much different from the opportunity to buy a car. What if a student gets bad luck and never win in four years, then will he never be allowed to use the self-study rooms in his own school? Ridiculous. What do you think about it or do you have some ways to deal with short supply situation?

I think it is a ridiculous and unfair way to solve the problem. The similar thing also happens in my university. When the seats seem in short supply, some students will put useless books on it, so it will not be occupied by others when they are off to attend classes or have meals, which makes the seat even more in tight supply. I just hate them when I cannot find even one ‘blank’ seat when many are not used at the time. You know what, if they don’t occupy one, the seats will be in good supply, instead of tight.
