    This feature may be blocked at the library. If the library is using Internet Explorer, look right under the toolbar at the top of the page for a small strip that says something like "click here to install activeX". If you don't see that - or don't see anything else to try to click on to install it, then it's probably blocked.

    To be sure, though, check with one of the librarians for assistance.

    ActiveX is a type of addon to programs that automates some task. Someone could create an ActiveX control that can do damage to a machine. So public places like libraries will lock down their machines preventing such from being installed.
