Death Threat Woes

[Heather Grady]

Web based email servers (hotmail, etc) are not prohibited by not having
email access etc. available from public terminals.  Because it is web
based, it does not use the computer's address in the response line.  These
email programs exist only in cyberspace and the recipient can only respond
to the person sending the mail, not directly to the library computer.  I
don't think there is any record or where physically) the message came
from.
Does any have any thoughts or success at prohibiting chat rooms? We have
had lots of trouble with kids getting into inappropriate chat rooms for
lengthy time periods.
