Quantifying Communitys

After looking at the definitions of the word "Community" in class I began to think about the different community's that are in contact with the UEL library. I realized that although Staff and Students are the major communities here, communities can be based on things like gender, race and ethnicity, identity and age. Here is a list of I came up with of all of the communities I can think of that use or are in contact with the UEL Library:

-Library Staff

-Students

-Communities according to age (first year, second year, third year etc)

-Communities according to Ethnicity

-Communities according to gender

-Communities according to whether they live on or off campus

-Communities according to sexual orientation

-Communities relating to extra curricular activities that they are involved in eg. sports teams

-People who make deliveries to the building

-People who use online chat rooms to connect (distance learning)

-Security Staff

-Students working on computers (either on their own or with others)

-Students reading

-Communities according to which subject they study
