[Michlib-l] Library cards scanned into phones

[Marth Lee]

Collective Wisdom,
      Do you accept library cards scanned into a phone to check 
materials out from your library?  If so, do you require additional ID or 
do you have a library ap to use with the scanned card?  What are the 
pros and cons of accepting or rejecting scanned library cards?  
Currently we only accept a library card or personal ID (such as a 
driver's license or student ID) for checking out materials.  We have not 
accepted scanned library cards, but are considering it.  I have followed 
arguments for and against, and am wondering how common the acceptance of 
scanned cards is in Michigan.

Thank you for your input!
