[Michlib-l] Paper Library Card Applications

[Jaema Berman]

Robert, Addison Twp. Public Library has done away with the paper app entirely by entering the information directly into the system. It was worked very well.
Sincerely,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Paper Library Card Applications

Hello All,
 
Are there any libraries that have gotten rid of paper apps for library cards and switched to either directing patrons to an online digital form, or simply just enter their ID information directly into the system?
 
For those that have gotten rid of the paper way, do you have patrons provide their signature digitally, or just skip that part? Is the signature even necessary?
 
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
