public internet access or password

[Corinne Caputo]

Our Internet access for anyone presently is password protected so 
that one must be a student/staff  with an email account to access it. 
Other libraries that I worked for allowed the public to use the 
Internet without password and was not limited to the campus only.

We are presently gathering information to justify an open account for 
public access for at least one terminal.  I would appreciate any 
input that anyone could give relating to their policies on this 
matter and the justifications, etc. that were/are used for it.  

Please email me on this as I don't know that the entire listserv 
would be interested.  thanks in advance.
