We intend shortly to offer in our searchroom direct access to the web browser version of the National Register of Archives and ARCHON. We wish to restrict public use to relevant archival sites and other information resources so that we do not become a free cyber café. We will need to revise our search room regulations accordingly. Do any list members offer, or plan to offer, similar public access to the Internet? If so could you please copy to me information about your security arrangements and search room regulations? As this will probably become a standard service in record offices and libraries, there may be some value in drafting model regulations for wider use. Please let me know if you are interested in participating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dick Sargent Director of the National Register of Archives Historical Manuscripts Commission Quality House, Quality Court Chancery Lane London WC2A 1HP tel 0171 242 1198 fax 0171 831 3550 email [log in to unmask] http://www.hmc.gov.uk %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
