Sir—What is the point of having record listening facilities in the University Library if, when you wish to hear a record, the staff will not play it at sufficient volume to allow you to hear it?

I realise that noise filters through the ventilation system and disturbs those working.

But, what is the point of having these facilities, costing probably over $1,500, if you cannot hear the piece requested at a volume level loud enough to enable you to hear the music.

On two occasions I have requested a record and it has been played so quietly that I could only just hear the singing and none of the background music.

I think this atrocious considering it would only take the muffling of the ventilation system to correct this ailment.
