<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>You have a very good point. I didn’t
think about video cell phones, but that is probably something that might become
reality. Especially for deaf people who sign. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Those in areas that are a little more affluent
and/or with frequent out –of-state travelers may have to think about Videoconferencing
policies sooner than in 2-3 years. When I bought a laptop personally just over
3 years ago, about half of all the laptops which were available for purchase at
the time came with webcams already built in. But point made: patrons may be Skyping
in our libraries already. It might be worth the time to think about it
now so that we have time to formulate a response rather than react when we
finally “see” it. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So it now looks like a hybrid policy issue
that touches upon: current cell phone use, current laptop use, Meeting room,
general meeting policies, AND (one that I don’t think has been touched
upon yet) taking pictures inside the library and patrons respecting each other’s
privacy, etc. Anyone have any other ideas before I put this thread to rest?</span></font></p>

are your policies for such? I can imagine this being viewed as both extension
of our computer services AND/OR extension of our meeting room policies. </span></font></p>

be ready to recommend current practice policies and procedures should this
