Presentation: “What Does a Person Have To Do To Use a Computer Here?”

On November 11, 2011 at UNC Asheville, 10 am in RL 101 (The Whitman Room)

Ramsey Library invites you to the following presentation:
“What Does a Person Have To Do To Use a Computer Here?”
Presented by Jill Ellern and Robin Hitch from Western Carolina University
This is a repeat presentation originally given at the North Carolina Library Association 59th Biennial Conference in Hickory on October 7, 2011.
Find out how North Carolina academic libraries (including all community colleges, private colleges and the UNC system) control patron use of computers in their public areas. This presentation looks at the results of a statewide survey into the authentication practices to see how libraries deal with privacy, authentication, guest access and data retention.
The co-researchers are from Western Carolina University – Jill Ellern, Systems Librarian, Shandon Bates, former Director of Systems and Operations but now at University of Oregon, and Robin Hitch, Computer Support Analyst in the Hunter Library.

Open to all. No registration required.
