[Web4lib] YouTube and Bandwith

[Thomas Edelblute]

We had a parent complain to us recently when she caught her son watching
strippers on YouTube.  Now the debate is whether we should allow YouTube
in the Children's Room.  Since we can set up different filter groups and
drop different computers into their appropriate groups, this is under
serious consideration.

Are there any libraries that have blocked the use of YouTube in their
libraries because it uses so much bandwith?  Have there been any
repercussions?
