[CASL-L] ResearchITCT - referring URLs?

[Rocca, Jennifer]

We just brought our public librarians in to meet the freshmen. Every
student either brought in a library card or completed a library card
application form. Our public librarians agreed that attendance at our
local, public high school constituted proof of residence so students didn't
need to present any additional information.

Once they all had a card, I had students create a google drive document
where they recorded their library card number so they couldn't lose it and
would always have access at home.
