Now you need to login with your library card at only specific terminals. The new system is really irritating because it keeps popping up this box asking if you are still there. Very difficult when you are trying to teach someone to use the mouse. "No, click the YES button". I used to teach more advanced users that they could check their webmail from "card catalog" machines, but, alas, those days are gone, or I need to move to St. Paul. ~jacque
