a) Walk-in Users
----------------
Following a request from the community a web page has been created on the Eduserv Chest web site defining 'walk-in users' and 'authorised users' in relation to public access and library terminals use. The web page provides a list of Chest negotiated agreements and defines whether 'walk-in use' is acceptable or not in respect of those agreements.
The actual web page is <http://www.eduserv.org.uk/chest/datasets/walk-in-users.html>. This page can also be accessed from our list of datasets agreements page at <http://www.eduserv.org.uk/chest/datasets/table-index.html>.
