Listmembers asked about how to prevent mouse ball theft.  Why not use a
touchpad?  They're getting pretty low in price.  They also have no moving
parts - important in the library.

You could also use a trackball.  Some of them have access to the trackball
only through the bottom.  The trackball housing can be mounted to a desk with
removeable screws - this would prevent or deter theft of the ball, since
you'd have to really work at it.
