[Libs-Or] Questions about "Internet Only" cards and internet guest passes

[Sheryl Eldridge]

Hi,

We use Envisionware to manage Internet use, and currently are offering "Internet Only" cards for people who use our computers, but either don't want to apply for a full card, or can't, because they do not have identification or a local address.

We also give guest passes for the Internet to visitors, although many who request a pass are people who come regularly and decline the offer of an "Internet Only" card.

Up until now, we have not asked for ID from people in either situation.  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.

Can anyone share how this is handled in your library?
