I think you should not short-change the majority of people who have legitimate needs to watch some video (and who have enough class to not watch T&A where children are) for the few who would disregard their surrounds for a glimpse of the devils pleasure. Simply post a notice asking for consideration and compliance if it is that big a deal and be done with it. There are far worse things in a library than video T&A to be observed, take my word on that one.

We don’t allow DVD’s to be watched on public computers currently due to patron complains regarding R movies / racy movie scenes where children could possibly view the screen but we don’t see a way to kill this off short of either 1) disabling the DVD drive 2) disabling Windows Media Player. Neither which seem like good options to us…. So what do you do? Allow the movies to be able to play and deal with the problem customers as they arise? Kill access to one or the other? Found some 3 rd party toy that disables it for you? Thanks for your input! ;) Thanks, Gretchen Garcia MCLD IT Services [log in to unmask]
