In my library system, originally computers were "open access". If there was an available computer, you could plop down in the seat and use it.
Then they changed it to requesting access using our library cards in 60 minute chunks. (It's been awhile since I was in, but I believe you could "renew" if no one was waiting for a computer when your time ran out).
I always assumed they did this because people were uploading or downloading copyrighted materials through the library system's access. But maybe it was a way to implement child-proof filters by age?
