    Within reason yes, if someone is on any website all day it is a management issue and not for ICT to fix though.

    With practically everyone in the department from the director down on Facebook, it's all but encouraged! As an institution we're also making pretty decent use of Facebook to interact with current and potential customers (i.e. students), and they make exhaustive use of it. To try and implement any kind of ban would cause a riot! As a general rule, being a research-intensive university, we don't block anything since you can never tell what people may want to legitimately research. We do have rules in place which state that the IT facilities are provided for academic/business use and significant abuses are dealt with.

    Sure are, but then at Sun we don't tend to try and control what people can do on the internet and assume, until proven otherwise, that employees are responsible adults that actually want to do their job.  But then we also have a public blog site, wiki site and a very flexible working hours and location policy too.

    Locked down in the office but open in the classrooms. This seems to be historical.  Hotmail blocked as well. :)
