[Publib] computer workshops non-attendees

[Sally Tornow]

Please reply to me as well - this is a big problem for us.  This morning I only had three people show up for a fully booked class of 7, all of whom I had called the evening before.  And, there was a waiting list.  Thanks for all your wonderful answers!

A question for the list…  how do you
handle computer workshop registrations? 
We have a computer lab with 12 computers we
use for computer workshops. 
We require pre-registration for the
workshops, 
but lately we have had a rash of
non-attendance which leaves numerous empty computers during the workshops. 
It becomes difficult to justify closing the
lab to “public use” with only 5 computers in use during the
workshops. 
 
My question, how do other libraries handle
this problem?
