I am puzzled by this. Academic libraries mostly have site licences to ejournals which permit access to walk-in users, but only for non-commercial purposes. Are similar restrictions applied to the service offered by public libraries? If so, how will usage be monitored and licence conditions enforced?

Subject: Re: Public libraries to provide free access to more ejournals than universities-huge learning agenda opportunity?
I have visions of doing a lot of my work in the local public library, if I can access there the full text of academic articles in journals that we cannot afford to subscribe to at work. This may not be the primary motivation for making these publications available in this way, but could be a boon to industry.
