[LIBRARYDIR] [EXTERNAL] Re: public patrons in your libraries

Hello,
      At Clark College, we generally only address inappropriate behavior which detrimentally impacts others or is violation of student code. Relevant links below.
Title 132N WAC CLARK COLLEGE<http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=132N>
Clark Libraries Conduct Policy<http://library.clark.edu/content/policies%23conduct>

We allow limited access to computers for non-currently enrolled and prospective students as well as other community members. Relevant document below.

Request for Computer Usage – “Guests”

Computer use by non-Clark College students, faculty, or staff is a courtesy granted at the discretion of Cannell Librarians. Guest use is subject to availability of computers. Computers are available to guests after 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, and from 1:00-4:55 p.m. Saturday.

SUMMER SESSION: Computers are available to guests after 2:00 p.m. Monday—Thursday. We are closed Friday—Sunday during summer quarter.

Guests must agree to the following rules and procedures:

  *   Guest must obtain a Cannell Library Card (available with certain qualifications at the check-out desk) or have a valid ID from an Orbis/Cascade Alliance institution.
  *   Guest must sign in at the reference desk after obtaining a library card.
  *   Reference librarians are responsible for logging on guests.
  *   Computer use is limited to one hour per day.
  *   Printing and wi-fi are not available.
  *   Guests are expected to abide by the Clark College Computer Use Policy, which is posted at the reference area.  Clark Libraries Computer Use Policy<http://library.clark.edu/content/policies%23computer_use>

As you can see, we only extend this courtesy to residents of District 14 which must be verified by Access Services staff. However, we will accept as verification a confirmed Post Office Box in Vancouver or evidence that s/he is receiving mail at a temporary address.  We can offer to mail them a registration form to fill out and bring back as confirmation along with photo identification.  Because non-Clarkers don’t usually have school/security ID numbers, we also require/enter verified birth date.  We also limit their borrowing to 2 items out at any time.  Clark Libraries Borrowing Policy<http://library.clark.edu/content/policies%23borrowing>

Let me know if you have questions or want clarification.

Cheyenne,
The general public is welcome to use the library but there are a number of limitations.  All of our computers require a campus login so those are not available to anyone other than students or employees.  We do have some open stations for catalog searches only.  Public users can purchase a library card for $10/year if they wish to check out materials.

Hello all,
I was wondering if you allow the general public to use your library spaces and/or resources and what sorts of guidelines you might have. I know some of your colleges actually have public patrons who have borrowing privileges. But I am more interested in how you monitor or handle public patrons, especially from a security perspective. Do your visitors have to check in somewhere or are they aware of the use guidelines in your library? We seem to be seeing an uptick in “troubled” individuals using our spaces, especially in the evening, and they are creeping us out a bit. Any information you could share would be appreciated.

Thanks
