With laptops, ubiquitous wireless, and tablets, I don't see that having patron computers in our synagogue libraries will do much to increase traffic. Now if we could get *rid* of those things.... Andrea Rapp

It doesn't get us a lot more traffic, but a little; and it makes the catalog available even if a lot of Hebrew School parents use it for job hunting. The big consideration we had was to make sure that it wasn't on the synagogue network, for security reasons. This means that I have to manually transport our catalog to the public computer on a flash drive every couple of weeks, but it's no biggie; and if the catalog is small enough to email, you can do that too.

I really need something to increase foot traffic. I am looking for advice as to whether this is a good idea and the kinds of things that I need to consider.
