[Web4lib] Patrons reading/playing cds at public computers

[Phillip Whitford]

 We allow patrons to access their own CD's, flash drives, etc. on our
public computers. We allow them to listed to music CD's as well. We
don't provide headphones to adults any more, they have to bring their
own. We do provide headsets on our public computers in Youth Services
for kids. Occasionally, we have to tell someone to turn the volume down.
Otherwise, it has not been an issue.

Hi,

 

What is your Library's policy regarding a patron's ability to read data
stored on their own cds at your public computers? Also do you allow
patrons to listen to music on their own cds at the public computers? We
do supply headsets for tutorials, etc.  

 

Thanks--any information you supply will be shared with the group.

Regards,

Janet Fine
