There is free internet access for all members of our university clinic 
including students who can use a computer pool whith chip-card controlled 
entrance.
Our library is not yet fully connected but we hope that this will be the 
case in this year's summer. We do not plan any restriction with regard to 
internet use except in time (we will have only two public PC's in the 
beginning).
It is very rare that children visit our library, and they would not be 
allowed to use the PC's anyway.
