In my experience, as soon as you ask someone not to do something, they do the opposite. Try removing the posters and see what happens. The vast majority of our users take their calls outside, and if they don't, they get a "librarian look" and then they go outside:) Laura -----Original Message----- From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Roger Farbey Sent: 13 June 2011 09:21 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Library as telephone booth How many of your readers use their mobiles for speech in your library. We seem to get more and more who think it's perfectly acceptable to chat away in the Library. We have notices about mobiles but they seem to be ignored. Does anyone else have this (burgeoning?) problem?
