Compilation of Free Computer Guest Passes Responses
by Jessica Wilhoite 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hi all, Listed below are the responses I received about offering free computer guest passes to veterans. Thank you all for your responses. At this library, the borrower’s cards are free and all the programs are free also. I'm guessing that's pretty much true for most public libraries. Marty Ferriby, Director Hackley Public Library ______________________________________________________________________ The East Lansing Public Library provides free computer guest pases to anyone. As for library cards, we are currently reviewing our library card procedures/policies to make them more inclusive. One possibility may be a 14-day or 30-day free trial card or a guest card that allows for limited amounts of checkouts at any given time. We are actually meeting on Thursday to discuss ideas. I will let you know what we decide to do. ELPL does participate in the visiting patron program. ______________________________________________________________________ Our library offers free guest passes for computer use to anyone that asks. Typically, a session is for 2 hours but if it isn't busy, the time can be extended by staff. I believe that the Brighton Library in Brighton, Michigan does as well. Dana Allen Howell Carnegie District Library ______________________________________________________________________ At GARC we do not charge for guest passes for the computer. All you need is a TLN library card in good standing or a picture id (so we can verify that they do not have a card with excessive fines). James B Lenze, Director Garden City Public Library ______________________________________________________________________ We give free computer passes to anyone who asks for one. We don't have a specific policy for this, but standard procedure is to print a guest pass for anyone who asks. We provide access to all services and materials to everyone free of charge. Kimberly Young , Library Director Houghton Lake Public Library ______________________________________________________________________ All of our computer guest passes are free at Lyon Township. Jocelyn Levin, MLIS Youth Services Librarian ______________________________________________________________________ We don't charge for guest passes, but we do offer free DVD rental to veterans. Lisa Waskin, Director Superior District Library ______________________________________________________________________ We have free access for anyone. ______________________________________________________________________ In this case, ELPL gives guest passes out free to anyone who asks for one. __________________________________________________________________ We do not charge for guest passes. – CDL ______________________________________________________________________ Dexter provides free guest computer passes for anyone who wants to use our computers. We are a little farther afield from the compact metro suburbs, so we don't have as many people crossing boundaries. I think our connection speed and computer availability if vert similar to most of our neighbors. Hope this helps! Paul McCann Dexter District Library ______________________________________________________________________ I assume you're talking about passes to use your public computers? If so, we don't charge for them at all. We also do not limit their time unless someone is waiting. Deb Hemmye, Adult Services Librarian Farmington Community Library Thanks! Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd. Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 942-7589 Serving Romulus and Huron Township Residents “I see libraries and librarians as front-line soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.” -Neil Gaiman

Legally Using Video in Training - Friday, July 27 @ 11AM Eastern
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

These days video is essential for engagement and as a vital component in training. Now, the question is: Are you doing it right? In this session, we'll delve into and answer these questions: How can we incorporate video into our training modules? More important, where can we get relevant videos? Producing our own may be the ideal, but, beyond the costs, what are the legal issues? How can we incorporate content created by others to produce our customized "on point" training? Is there no-cost or low-cost footage out there? Do we link, embed, copy? What about mash-ups? As with all things involving copyright, IT DEPENDS. For more information or to register for this free webinar, visit https://www.trainingmagnetwork.com/events/1449?gref=calendar. Evette M.
