Dear Mr. Nikhil,Sudou is certainly a good brain teaser and quite challenging, it can be offered as a service in the library. We have the same problem in our library. Instead of restraining the students, you can try alternatively. If you have photocopier in the library take 10 to 15 copies of the sudoku and give it to the interested students who want to solve it. Also inform the same to the students through notice and writing or marking in the library resources is an offence and they can avail the photocopy service. This could prevent students from writing on the papers.RegardsS.C.KumaresanOn Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:59:06 +0530 \"NIKHIL EYEROOR\" wrote Dear friends Let me draw your attention to this \"simple issue\" for your valuable suggestion. As everybody knows\"SUDOKU\" the popular puzzle appear in daily newspapers is the \"culprit\" here! As per library rules writing, underlining, marking library documents are not allowed. I am in a dilemma, whether this \" SUDOKU\! " should be entertained (SUDOKU fans says that it accelerates brain activities), ignored or banned. Doing SUDOKU, CROSSWORDS in library newspapers may motivate users to write, underline books and as it is a time consuming practice this will also create inconvenience for users who are waiting to read the same newspaper. How do you deal with this situation in the library? Friends please open up.
