Re: TARGET->Computer Workstations

I believe in printers for every workstation.   Look at it this way:  You
are spending thousands of dollars to increase access to the collection,
and yet blowing the effect by making the kids (elementary, no less) copy
down from the screen?

        Cost-efficiency for electronic information resources (IMHO) is
measured by the increased access -- meaning kids will check out more
books and more kids will use the resources.  To slow down the process
for want of a few hundred buck doesn't make sense to me.

        I also like standing workstations, (some sitting, of course) for
the same reason, patrons use them and move off.
