[WEB4LIB] Re: E-mail in libraries

[Shelden DeVained]

I do this all the time.  Its the beauty of Homail.  I will add my 
signature to this, for the list.  I work in one local community college, 
one University, and a public libraray.  All let patrons use the 
workstations for personal email.  If it is our job to provide access to 
information resources, this includes personal information resources as 
well.
