Bringing Card Reading Technology In-house to Control Access and Information

Information & Instructional Technology Services at UTSC will present a card-reading application that can be adapted for a variety of uses.
Faculty, staff and student T-cards can be swiped to perform such functions as granting access to secured facilities and services, attendance monitoring, and generating automatic e-mails to card swipers.
This presentation will show you how adaptable the application is using hardware that plugs into a USB port, and will provide you with ideas for using it to control access, gather business intelligence data, and disseminate information in small- and large-scale environments.
