I agree with Micki's comments. When I inherited this library the computers =
were in a circle around the electrical drop pole. The two that I could not =
see were constantly in trouble: students changing backgrounds, going to =
inappropriate sites, playing games, downloading, excessive printing, etc. =
The students inclined to engage in the behavior would naturally choose the =
two that could not be seen from my office or the circ desk.
When we rearranged the library so that they all face the circ desk in a =
row I have had NONE of those same problems. With a glance I know what is =
going on with each student/computer and can nip problems in the bud before =
they cause hardware/software issues. I would never recommend having a =
computer set up where there is no line of site to the monitor.
