|
Byline: James Kimberly
May 20--CHICAGO -- Before long, patrons wanting to use Naperville Public Library System computers without a hassle will have to prove their identity with a fingerprint.
The three-library system this week signed a $40,646 contract with a local company, U.S. Biometrics Corp., to install fingerprint scanners on 130 computers with Internet access or a time limit on usage.
The decision, according to the American Library Association, makes Naperville only the second library system in the country to install fingerprint scanners.
