HIJACKERS MAY HAVE ACCESSED COMPUTERS AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES
Issue: Public Access
Investigators are looking into the possibility some of the suspected
hijackers in last week's deadly attacks on Washington and New York may have
communicated with each other by using computers at public libraries. At
least one South Florida librarian has told authorities she recognized the
name of a suspected terrorist on one of her computer sign-in sheets after
the FBI released the list of hijackers' names Friday. And library officials
in Fairfax County also reported that FBI agents have requested the computer
lab sign-in lists from one library. Public library officials say the use of
computers with Internet access, which affords clients the option of logging
into chat rooms and exchanging private messages, is a controversial issue in
the library industry, and that policies on patron use and the amount of
privacy allowed differ from place to place. Betty Dejean, the assistant
director of the libraries division in Broward County, where several of the
suspects lived, said she could not release any information without a court
order, citing Florida statutes. Dejean said she had sent out a memo to staff
members at the 37 Broward County branches, which include three in Hollywood,
reminding employees they are not allowed to comment on books checked out by
clients or on client computer use.
