Look out for our Ping Pong voting machine in the Library. We post the results of our polls on this page and on Instagram.
This or That poll: computer keyboards on silent floors
Based on user feedback telling us the computer keyboards on Level 1 were loud when in use on a silent floor, we put out some new keyboards alongside the existing equipment and asked users of Level 1 which style they preferred.
We also conducted this poll online through Instagram Stories. We counted each in-person vote from users of Level 1 as two votes.
| Option | Online votes | In-person votes | Total votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current keyboards | 44 | 40 (doubled to 80) | 124 | 42% |
| 'Quiet' keyboards | 86 | 44 (doubled to 88) | 174 | 58% |
The quiet keyboards won the poll. As we update equipment on Level 1 and other silent floors in the Library we will buy quiet keyboards instead of the bulkier style keyboards which some users find to be too loud.
We ran this survey from 28 May to 10 October 2025 inclusive.
