When you connect to the Library's public wifi they accept the terms and
conditions but are not required to enter any personal details like name or
email address.

For network management purposes only authorised technical staff can view
device details (MAC address, operating system) and can view session details
(session start and end times, access locations within public areas of the
buildings). As part of network troubleshooting or investigation into activity
that does not meet with the terms of use guidelines, authorised technical
staff could also correlate firewall data to determine services accessed
(including web sites visited) during a given session.
