- Subject: RE: Anonymous/free access to info
-
- Our CWIS is open and we feel this is appropriate. We have encouraged
- offices to make information available in this manner to readh people
- who are not computer oriented through public terminals. Some of these
- terminals located in public locations have been completely supported
- by this office, while some offices have borne the expense of the
- hardware, communications wiring and terminal stands. We don,t charge
- the faculty and staff for the weekly newsletter distributed in
- hardcopy and we don.t charge the students for a copy of the student
- newspaper because these provide information that everyone should have
- or at least have the choice of getting the information.
-
- We had 83,000 pages accessed in September and 79,000 in October so
- there is an interest in the information on the system and much of the
- information is supportive of University processes of registration,
- library use, intramural sports.
-
- We do know how many accesses we have to pages and we know how many of
- those pages were accessed from public terminals. But, as in the
- library, there should not be a process that would allow anyone to find
- out what people are accessing.
