One of our frequent guest patrons has started leaving the Reference computers after his hour is up and asking students if they will log him on to a computer in the Info Commons. I just became aware of this tonight when a frantic and remorseful student asked us for help with the situation.
The patron carries hand weights and wears a dark pullover with team logos on it. I believe he comes in mostly at night and signs in with the name Palmer Banks.
I advised the patron never to share her log in information with anyone and I informed Laath Martin of the situation; he made a record in the incident log book at Circulation. Banks divulged that he's asked people to log him in on other occasions, saying that he didn't know it was "personal" information. I asked him to leave and tried to impress upon him that it is personal information and that his behavior was inappropriate.
Hopefully it will not be a problem again but if you happen to see him lurking around or harassing students, perhaps further action will be required.
