streaming audio/video?

[Lammers, Deborah]

I need some input.  I am wondering if other libraries allow patrons to
download/play streamed audio/video files on public access Internet machines.
What about library staff?  I am thinking of things like Internet radio
webcasts and MP3 downloads.  It is my understanding that streaming uses a
lot of bandwidth.  I am thinking of restricting staff use, at least.  Am I
being overly cautious?

I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Sincerely,
