The article addresses how a traditional Public commuter college library in the Bronx began making strides to automate student ID barcodes so online library access was granted without in person registrations. How does a barcode number get generated for an individual student and what offices need to be included in automating a library account? The author discusses the College's expansion of its online education program, strategies to serve this community and the eventual development of a digital ID card allowing students instant access to online resources. The article also reports data from a trouble ticket system developed for patron log in issues using Libwizard from Springshare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
