Hi all,
I have not seen webcams in use in any library, but I would add to your list
of concerns the drain that the audio and video streams would have on your
total library bandwidth.

Hi all,

        We are interested in investigating the use of webcameras
        attached to PCs for patron use. They would be used for
        patrons to 'visit' with friends and relatives through
        both audio and video means. We have several concerns:

        1) how and where would this service be offered in order
                to provide privacy
        2) what type of abuses are we not aware of
        3) what physical equipment (and connections) are required
        4) what is the cost of all the equipment necessary

        So, if anyone is or has used this service, I would appre-
        ciate your advice and would like to hear of your experiences
        both good and bad.

Thank you.
