At some point in the future, OIT is going to implement the Sign Up PC reservation system on all of the library public access PCs. This is the same reservation ystem used in the student computer labs. Take a look at this PowerPoint from Dexter in OIT to learn more about the system.
Sign Up Presentation (PPT)
The Directors named the following folks to a subcommittee of the Reference Committee to look into common issues such as session length that will need to be decided before the system goes live.
Kip Cates (Rockdale/ Newton)
Carmel Chaille (Dunwoody, Chair)
David Free (Decatur)
Ann Mallard (Clarkston)
We'll briefly discuss Sign Up at the holiday party on Tuesday. And you can contact your campus rep with any questions.

Although it is irrelevant because this decision has already been made by GPC, I will say that I do not think it is a good idea for an academic institution.
I'm usually against putting any sort restriction like this on PC access too. But in this case I see it more as managing and providing equal access to resources. Giving people a set amount of time to use a PC takes the arbitrariness out of asking person x to move so person y can use GALILEO. As long as we set the parameters to allow folks to do what they need to do and be fair to all users I'm all for it here. And think that it is needed, at least here at Decatur.
