I can only use the catalog computers for 10 minutes (and I can reserve a station if I want) and I can only use the other computers for 60 minutes - this is one way to resolve the issue... but I do understand what you're saying.  I've been in libraries and unable to search the catalog because all computers were occupied.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Nicole</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:36:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Library Bans Social Networking</title><link>http://www.web2learning.net/archives/1643#comment-1566772</link><description>Having worked at a public library in the past, I am wondering what made them come to this decision. If they have a limited number of computers, it might be that there were not any available to look up books/use databases/etc. If this was the case, I can understand why they wanted to make such a decision. I think there are better ways to handle this, but I can understand the dilemma.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Edward M.
