Well, we too in our library provide wireless internet to our users, but the wi-fi coverage area is limited to our reading hall, all users must register their laptops, and the access to most of the entertaining resourses is denied

to Laura, i though that such problems occur only in Russian libraries….

Oh I see, he said it was “like Risk”.

He was probably just killing boars.

He wasn’t playing Risk, he a World of Warcraft player. I wonder if his guild failed their raid because he got arrested out of it…

Oh no! Patrons using library services outside the imagined parameters! I interviewed for a job at a library whose OPAC was not available outside the library. I said, “So, when will the OPAC be on the web?”

“Why would we do that?” they said.

“What if I’m home at 10 pm and want to see if the library has a book and maybe put a hold on it?”

“But why would anyone want to do that?”

Probably, I suppose, for the same reasons one might want to use library wifi after hours. Sheesh.
