A couple years ago we set it up so that if they have a library card -- even a temporary one -- they can get a full hour on the computers. Guest passes only allow for 30 minutes. This prompted some of our regulars who previously didn't want to get a card to get one, so that they could have more time, but still allows for visitors and people who don't want to have a card to use the computers.<br><br>We used to ask for ID, but it was time-consuming for staff and patrons alike, and felt intrusive. It also discouraged people who didn't have ID from even asking to use the computers. It was one of the first things I eliminated when I became director, and no one has missed it. <br><br><br></div><span> </span><span class="GroupwiseReplyHeader"><br><br><br/><div style='clear: both;'><HTML><HEAD>

Some of our staff would like to ask for ID, so we can verify who we give cards to, and put a name to the face of someone if there is a problem. But we don't want to keep from giving internet access to people without ID. <br> <br> Can anyone share how this is handled in your library?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><img id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:8dee51cab19988d25ec2ec874584f22e2084b014fa43e72dfa.mpf" alt="signature" height="162" width="473"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </div></body></html>
