I'm finding that my language-only computer lab is being overrun
with both language and non-language students sneaking in to look
at their email throughout the day, not to mention my staff's
penchant for sitting for hours in front of the computers writing to
friends.  Since I don't have time to sit at the door and police
everybody when they come in, I wondered what solution you all
may be using to prevent the overuse of email in your labs.  I don't
want to entirely do away with students' ability to use email, as
some of the instructors want our language students to write to
students at universities from the target language countries--
however, it's driving me crazy to wander into the computer lab and
see eight or ten people chatting on my expensive computers!  Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sue
