We have recently installed a controlled access system in the library at our main campus whereby students and staff members must present their library cards to gain entry. What policy do other libraries have if the library card has been forgotten? Are users able to 'sign in' with alternative i.d. or must a valid library card *always* be shown even if, for example, the user has travelled a considerable distance to use the service? Please reply direct to me and I will summarize for the list. Kate Coulling University of Central Lancashire e-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
