[CASL-L] CASL-L Digest, Vol 11, Issue 19

[Amy Reilly]

Re: Security cameras in the library

Years ago the IT Director proposed putting a camera in the library. I was
all for it! Unfortunately the proposition was vetoed because the library
was deemed a "classroom" and classrooms are not permitted to have cameras.
When I brought up how the gym also is a classroom but has a camera I was
told it is also a public space, so cameras are required.

Good luck getting them in your space!
