Re: [LM_NET] [LM_NET school use of public library cards {Scanned}

[Rachelle Wynkoop <rwynkoop@ALGONAC.K12.MI.US>]

I guess I have looked at this issued differently than what has bee
discussed.  We have databases that the county library purchases for county
residents.  Our schools reside in the county.  The taxpayers pay a milleage
for the library services.  Our IP address from the school is recognized by
the county library and my students do not need to use their library cards
for access.  They do need the library card for access from home, and I
encourage the parents and the students to do this as I introduce the
databases.  I see this as no different than letting the local library know
that the 3rd grade is doing their animals projects so they set aside the
resources for the students school assignment.  The same goes for our state
databases.  The state requires the user to be a state resident.  Our school
resides in the state.  Again, our IP address is recognized when my students
access the database from my library.  From home, they would need state Id.
Am I oversimplifying the issue?
