New library techniques

a new library system I am encountering these days at UA...oh btw i am at alabama for my masters in Industrial engg...one of the libraries here checks out laptop for a max. continuous period usage of 2 hrs..also they give the head phone..I have never previously seen this work nywhr..as this is a wifi enabled structure and laptop, so it works really well..probably with so much of funds even iit b can start doing this..another good system is that they check out digital cameras for a max. period of 3 days..they give the memory card and the charger as well..they have a gr8 R&D lab here at the second floor which has some good apple systems with mac OS..so once the pics r loaded they either write u a CD or send it to ur mail account as per the student's convenience..totally neat system..if the memory card is full in between ur usage time, then they will recharge the same..totall studgiri for a mediocre like me...so these days i am trying to use digicam....
