[Web4lib] visitor/guest card policy

[Pruntel,Alison]

Hello Karen,

 

I'd be interested in any off-list feedback you receive as well. While
having Internet-only cards is tempting, some staff are concerned that
those cards will inflate our statistics.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Web4lib] visitor/guest card policy

 

I am in the process of rewriting the guest card policy for our public
library system and would be interested in reviewing guest card policies
from other library systems.  I am most interested in the one day use
cards primarily for computers and printing, but plan to address our fee
card policy as well.  

 

 

 

What I am looking for are libraries that charge for a guest pass: How
much?  What are the criteria? Do you issue a guest pass to regular
library card holders if they want more computer time?  Do you issue a
guest pass to regular library card holders if their card is over the
fine limit? Etc.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
