  5. Walk-in Access Wales • Project lead: UW Trinity Saint David • Project Officer: one day p/w • Steering group: representation from 6 Welsh HEIs plus WHELF Officer • Technical contact: IT Manager at TSD

  6. Cardiff University • Investigated after 2007. Launched 2012 in 4 out of 15 site libraries. • Resources: JISC, NESLi and Eduserv licenses. • Licensing: Legal Compliance Officer checked licenses and drew up terms and conditions • Registration: Bring 1 form of ID, complete paper form and sign terms and conditions. • Technical: users insert chipped smartcard into Sun Ray thin client. Starts bespoke Firefox session. No CU network or internet access. Resources IP authenticated. Printing now permitted via MyPrint.

  7. Cardiff Metropolitan University • Investigated WiA in 2010. Launched 2012 in 1 site. • Resources: JISC, NESLi and Eduserv licenses. • Licensing: e-Services Info Advisor reviewed licenses. • Registration: bring 2 forms of ID, complete form and sign Acceptable Use Policy. Must be 18 or over. • Technical: network guest accounts. Web station PCs flip to WiA – IE opens public web page with IP authenticated resources. No URL bar to access external sites. Users can save to USB but not print.

  8. UW Trinity Saint David • Carmarthen campus

  9. UW Trinity Saint David • Carmarthen campus – Lampeter and SMU at a later stage • Looked at CU and CMU. Decided on CMU solution – network guest accounts with IP authentication. • JISC/NESLi/Eduserv licenses • Make use of CU and CMU documentation

  10. Challenges and questions • Licensing and technical issues • Technical: WiA is a library service – need an IT contact to work with and IT solution that works for you • Share documentation • Students must be priority • Promotion…will we be overrun?
