[OPLINLIST] e-mail

[Mary K. Leffler]

I believe patrons should be able to web-based e-mail from a public library
Internet computer.  It is an essential service for public libraries to
offer!  As many others have mentioned in their reply, a free e-mail account
can be obtained from Yahoo or Hotmail.  However, a person who has an
existing POP3 account provided by their Internet Service Provider and wants
to access their mail from that account can do so using a website such as
www.mail2web.com.  It doesn't require any registration-just advise your
patrons to use the Secure Login selection.

Do you allow patrons to access their e-mail from your internet computers? 
There is a discussion going on here between the director, staff and board
as to what to do.  Please respond to the list as some people I have talked
to are watching the list to see the comments.   Thanks, Kathy
