Sorry about the repeated message -- thought you might like to know who it
was from so have added my signature!
As we have been specifically mentioned in responses for this posting and as
input from vendors was specifically requested :-) .......
Fenwood Systems (part of the Esprit Group of Companies) offers a range of
solutions to the challenges presented to the Public Library sector by the
rolling out of their People's Network Strategy.
They enable a Library to provide controlled, managed access to resources
such as information databases hosted locally, on an intranet or the
Internet, network printing and network resources such as specific hardware
and software. Facilities are available to charge for any monitored system or
service and to provide detailed management reports.
A single, clearly presented web based interface can be provided to enable
public access to a wealth of community information, heritage data,
information sources etc.
All resources such as CDs, web based databases and e-journals may be
accessed following a single network authentication which may also provide
tailored desktops, access to specific applications, printing rights etc.
This authentication may be linked to the organisation's LMS if required.
Detailed logging of activity, access to resources etc enables detailed
reports to be provided.
We are currently working with a number of local authorities on
implementations of these solutions and will be very pleased to share our
thoughts with others! We can do this via Seminars such as one attended by 14
local authorities at the British Library on the 14th December or by
individual / smaller group meetings. If anyone is interested we will be
pleased to log your name for future events.
Visit our web site for more information (see below) or contact me directly
if you would like to arrange an individual or group meeting in your
locality.

Subject: Monitoring public use of internet access
As part of our "People's Network" strategy, we need to monitor the kind of
use - morally-acceptable and otherwise - made of our public-access internet
points.
Questionnaires, however brief, are of limited use. The ideal, to my mind,
woild be a system whereby a user logs onto the computer by means of scanning
his/her reader's ticket. A programme on board could then not only record the
user's identity but also the use made of the facility -
internet/word-processing/spreadsheets etc.
Does anyone know of such a system currently in use?
Many thanks.
Alun Williams
