Re: Making your library available to our patrons

[Gabe Gancarz <gancarz@ENTERACT.COM>]

Hi Damon,

Part of your question(s) may be answered by searching the LM_NET Archives,
for I posted a HIT about limiting study-hall students not too long ago.
You can reach the archives on the Web at:

Click the LM_NET box and then search for "Limit".

Hope this helps :-)
