[Publib] Computer Reservation Software

[Vicky]

It seems that we have patrons who have found a way to
abuse the new PC reservation system and are either
typing in their friends' card numbers or simply
guessing what a valid library card number would be. Of
course, this enables them to use the computers for
hours. We do allow people to type in their card
numbers. Is there any library who has encountered this
problem? Is the only solution to require patrons to
scan an actual physical card?

Thanks in advance.
