Re: High Tech Student IDs

[Doug Sandford <dsandfor () SEEBECK UA EDU>]

We have a system here that covers much of what you're asking about.
I'm not familiar with the particulars but I do know it has been very
successful. You can get an idea of the system here:

Happy hunting!

I am always looking to avoid the pain of causing my own mistakes.  We
have vending, washer/dryers etc which will accept student IDs.  I
started to look around at other technologies, and was wondering what
people used.  I was also wondering if people also extended the
privileges to off-campus vendors, and the security constraints around
that.  What high tech IDs are out there, and how are they working out?
Anyone using smartcards?  Proximity readers (and how does that work with
vending machines)?  Experiences with USA Technologies, Diebold?

Thanks in advance?

Jim
