NEKLS does exactly this - we have 3 accounts for each of our 36 libraries, a circ (can do anything with borrowers, and circulate books), a tech (can do cataloging, reports and edit items as well as circ), and a director account (as close to a superuser as we'll allow, so everything but modifying systemwide preferences).
This has worked well for us, and I believe it is easier to maintain than an account for every staff member. If you want to track which *computers* do what, you could consider a login for each station, if accountability is what you are concerned about. Liz Rea [email protected]
