Hello Malcolm,
There are, as always exceptions that prove the rule - these are, in the
case of walk-in users, those although IDEAL is not a CHEST agreement. I
can only re-iterate that almost all CHEST licenses do not allow use by
walk-in users. The CHEST licence is granted to the institution and that
is defined as "the staff and students of that institution" and the
purpose of the use must be "for the normal purposes of the business of
the institution" which is one of the main reasons CHEST tries to ensure
that, wherever possible, Athens authentication is used. CHEST realises
that walk-in users are difficult to police and the quote below, from
CHEST Data Messenger No 148, is what is expected of a library by
publishers in respect of the offers made through CHEST:
WALK-IN USERS:
--------------
Public access and Library terminals.
Use by walk-in visitors or general public users is not allowed.
It is generally acknowledged that licensed institutions may be
unable to segregate public or library computers from the rest of
the network and that occasional walk-in, public use may occur.
It remains a requirement of the Licensee (Institution) that it is
satisfied that the user is an employee, student, or other persons
authorised by the Licensee for the purposes of the normal
business of the Licensee's organisation.
I hope this clarifies.
Kind regards
Nikki
