We allow access to the public, but – it’s not “open” access - public users are required to apply for a user ID 
($20/year) so they can log in with accountable credentials….

Our library does much the same as Macalester.  Those who use guest access must provide a photo ID in order to get the 
guest credentials to log in to the library systems and the NDSU network.

Krystal,

Our computers are locked physically with Kensington cables.  We have a guest login, available by asking at the 
Library's main desk, that can be used by visitors without college credentials.  To print, they must the document on a 
thumb drive or send it to themselves via email to pay/print from the main desk.

Best,
Rachel

Hello Everyone,

I was looking to see how everyone locks down their library computers. Do you allow the public access to the computers 
in your library and if yes, how is that controlled? This question might be more applicable to state/public schools.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback!
