Campus Cards: Making an Informed Decision
ISBN: 1-56972-015-0
Paper
157 Pages


The growing acceptance of campus cards, combined with new technologies, inspired this first book on the subject. With the technologies of bar codes, magnetic stripes, and magnetic chips these handy plastic cards have become the campus "one card." Students may use their cards in vending machines, for laundry, parking, and textbook purchases—as well as the more traditional uses for student events, dining, entry, and library use. Now, magnetic chips are opening the door for the use of campus cards for accessing personal medical information, Internet E-commerce, security, and much more. The question then is "Who pays for this costly new technology?" Find answers in this valuable reference. (157 pages, NC1828)
