I appreciate you addressing the issue in that courtesy should dictate that when a student sits at a computer and sees that the previous student forgot to logout, that the second student should do so. I do wonder if there should be formal guidelines for this procedure -- thinking of the time I sat at a library computer, and found that the previous user had left open a rather important personal document regarding an active lawsuit. I did not want to spend a second associated with this, thinking perhaps the originator would come running back and find me at the computer. And so I immediately went to the librarian and asked her, as the local official, to close that account. I think if a student finds open content from a previous user, perhaps the student should go to a responsible adult and not spend a moment with the previous user's document.
