It seems like an amazing place to go to school, but their attitude is pretty Harvard. |

Okay, I now have a reason for this post, retro-actively. Some scrub just came into the library, walked by 3 computers in an entryway that's 15 feet by 15 feet (i.e., they're staring him in the fucking face), and asked me "where are the computers?"
I asked him, "what computers?" since it was vaguely possible he wanted to use the computer with the composing keyboard hooked up or something.
"the ones with internet on them."
Fuck him. And of course he's checking his MySpace right now in front of me. Fuck Harvard.
Edit: Turns out the kid is 18, just left his home in North Carolina, doesn't go to Harvard, and got to the library by asking people on the street where a library was. This is why every single Harvard library except this one requires Harvard ID access. |

Did he volunteer all this information on his own or did you ask him? Also, your story seems to indicate that you should be mad at scrubs who wish they were at Harvard, not at Harvard students themselves. |

He doesn't wish he was at Harvard. He just wandered there to use the internet.
I learned this because some librarian gently interrogated him because she likes engaging strangers in awkward conversations.
And I said fuck Harvard, not Harvard students. It's Harvard's fault that anyone can walk into this library. All the other libraries have security guards and they search your bags (even if you're staff at another Harvard library, or so I'm told) and crazy shit like that. |

It would seem more efficient to have the library open to everyone, but only have people with a Harvard email account be able to log onto the computers or check out books, like at all the MIT libraries. |

What do you mean by more efficient? The purpose of the libraries is to serve the Harvard community, not be a public resource. Keeping people out does that very efficiently. |
