John,



Here at Bury we have always had free access to computers and the

internet. In light of the budget cuts we are seriously considering

charging in some form for computer/internet access. My personal views

are



1, Yes I agree with this statement.



2/3 Yes in library and remote access to e-reference resources should be

free of charge at point of use. In our central library we have some

provision of "tied down" computers that can be used to access these

online resources. If we do introduce charging our current thoughts are

that these shall remain free (as indeed remote access to online

resources).



4. We do some active promotion but perhaps not as much as we should. We

have done specific themed "surgery" events e.g. Family history where

appropriate electronic resources are promoted, and I believe we have

some more planned. We are also looking at ways of promoting them on our

public access computers.



HTH

Dear colleagues,



 



I would be interested to hear a little more detail about "charging for

Internet access" and charging for "use of computers", which are often

used interchangeably. 



 



1.      Today the combination of the terms "comprehensive" and

"efficient" could be interpreted to mean the provision of a significant

number of reference resources by electronic means. Anything else would

be deemed to fail on one count or other. Do you agree?



 



2.      I am interested, therefore in whether you subscribe to the view

that a) in-library and b) remote access to electronic reference

resources should be free of charge (at the point of use) in accordance

with the requirements of the 1964 Public Libraries and Museums Act?



 



3.      If you do charge for the use of in-library computers does this

mean you are charging for access to electronic reference resources or do

you offer differential arrangements or facilities?



 



4.      Do you actively promote your online reference resources,

specifically (in addition to / as opposed to the fact that "the library

has computers" or "Internet access") as a unique feature of your library

service?



 



Thanks 



John

Subject: Internet charging



 



Hi all



 



I'm trying to get some up-to-date information regarding charging for

public Internet usage. So, if you are currently charging for all or part

of a session could you please let me know:



 



1)            What impact charging has had on usage of your computers?



 



2)            What sort of income has it generated?



 



Thanks & Regards,



 



Michael.
