POETS? you've got me beat there.
 
I know it's not Friday, but to continue in the same vein I also thought of Library: Information, Knowledge, Evidence. This might be especially suited to a 'yoof' library - then they could say 'I'm going to the, like, LIKE.'

Why not just call it the computer room? That's what most punters will call it, probably. I always think that simplicity is best in these circumstances (although I did think of calling my library the Information Knowledge & Evidence Authority; then staff who felt like a bit of retail therapy could say they're going to IKEA)

Hello all,

I am having a mental block trying to think of an appropriate name for a computer room my service will be taking over. 

It used to be called the Cyber Room and has latterly been called the e-learning room but I can't say I am thrilled by either of those.

It will be used for general IT access and small group training (in the usual way of these things).  Has anyone met a particularly good name for this kind of space lately?

Cheers

Alan
