With the installation of new computer equipment right before the holidays - we now have only two guest computers. We will need to be more careful about letting guests know that they are limited to one hour and computers are to be used for research. Admittedly, it's tough for us to define research - so use your best judgment. You can always steer people to the two computers in the Reference area on the high desks - we really don't monitor those for the 15 minute limits, although theoretically they are meant to be 15 minute machines. If you have questions from patrons - here's the reasoning to share.
We very rarely had more than two people on guest computers, and often no one, but very frequently had students who were unable to find machines and needed access to Word and Powerpoint. The fifteen minute machines are still available and don't need a log on.
I'm very willing for you to send anyone who has an objection back to talk with me or if I'm not around, they can send me an email, Mary
