Dear Betty, The time clock our library uses is an old RapidPrint. I don't know if it is still manufactured. It looks like and is slightly bigger than a beef tongue. I saw one like it--although another brand--at an office supply discount house last week for $87.00. The important part, though, is to have it stamp the word *library* as well as the time, and I don't know how much that costs. I was surprised at the discussion about time clocks being demeaning. Until this semester, I've kept the machine behind the charge-out desks where library practice students accept the passes and stamp them when students arrive. This year, though, I don't have enough students to cover all class periods, so students coming to the library have to stamp their own passes. Most of them approach the time clock the way Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck approached the truth-telling stone in the movie, *Roman Holiday.* On January 3, 1994, our time clock was stamping December 34.
