Digital Library Cards

[Thomas Edelblute]

I can't get that to work with my phone.  It is out of focus and not enough detail in the picture to be read by the scanner.  Maybe if I photographed it from over three feet away and cropped it I might be able to get something that is usable.

Why not essentially have both, many scanners can now read cellphone screens?  Allow your patrons the option of photographing the card and presenting that digital photo as their card. Just a thought.

At the Library Board Meeting one of our members suggested we look into digital library cards, instead of having an actual card, patrons if they choose could have something on their phone.
