--- Comment #16 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon at cdalibrary.org> ---
If I may, I was thinking of some things that you might consider in this bug. 
If I am off target with the scope of this bug, just ignore.

If I wanted to streamline the self check, I would add a list in the self check
preferences that would allow me to identify a computer by IP or name, and an
account number to act as.  So for example:

192.555.555.10:123456
cplsc1:123456

The OPAC would check the list.  If the computer is showing a specific IP or
name (192.555.555.10 or cplsc1 in the above example), it would login as the
user with the barcode after the colon.

This is very simplistic as an idea.  I don't know if you would want to create
something more robust in authentication, but this could work.  If the machine
is not found in the list, it could revert back to current workflow, which is to
prompt for login by the circing library before letting patrons login.  If the
machine is in the list, it simply comes up ready for the patron to login.

I don't know if this helps, but I thought I would throw it out there.
