They knew that when they got the card. They cannot (reasonably) expect you to accept something else. What prevents the user from putting just any number in the app and have it create a barcode that might actually be someone else’s number? I can see where this might be something to work towards for our patrons but, I think we need a way to control the id creation (unless there is security controls that I am unaware of).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Be interesting to see how this plays out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'>Dan Will</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'>Technology Supervisor</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'>Meigs County District Public Library</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:willda@oplin.org"><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>willda@oplin.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'>740.992.5813</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'>740.992.6140 (fax)</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>“When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>the church that belongs to God and the public library that belongs to you. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The public library is the great equalizer.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Keith Richards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> oplinlist-bounces@lists.oplin.org [mailto:oplinlist-bounces@lists.oplin.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bruce Landis<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 18, 2011 3:38 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'SEO Library Mailing List'; OPLINLIST<br><b>Subject:</b> [OPLINLIST] Smart phone Library Card application<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Last night we had our first appearance of a patron using their Smartphone and a LibraryCard application. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In short, this application allows the user to load their Library Card number onto the device and then use the device to present a ‘barcode’ when checking out.
