We don't ask for any ID from our visitor computer users. As well as the
arguments for inclusion etc it would be far too time consuming. Also, as
most of our visitor users are overseas students and tourists having an
address for them would serve no useful purpose to us.

Well said!
What nonsense, thought police, over bureaucratic and plain daft.
Obviously this is a place the new identity card would be a great asset
(if you had it with you)

Why do you require proof of address? What does this serve?
I can think of no logical audit requirement. In terms of tracking, why
track people if they're not doing anything wrong? Do you write down
everyone's address and details when they offer it? If so, this sounds
like a bureaucratic way of working. If not, it can't be used for
tracking purposes anyway.
I would suggest the easiest way out of your problem is to drop the
requirement for proof of address.

Hello
Could someone please offer advice on the issue raised below by a
colleague?
It is a condition of service that, although IT users do not have to be
library members, "guest" users must show some proof of ID (preferably
with an address for audit/tracking purposes).
"A member of staff has been dealing with someone from a traveller site
who wanted access to the IT service. The person could offer no proof of
address but did show a passport.
The staff member, in his awareness of our social inclusion message,
arranged for the person to use the section but is aware that this is in
breach of the rule we usually apply strictly (no prf of address, no
access). Has anyone else had the issue of travellers to deal with and
are you aware of any rulings which may allow us to accommodate them
without infringing this requirement? We are aware that if we are not
careful if we let one through the hole, others will follow and make it
bigger."
Many thanks in advance
Angella
