Computer laboratories in Libraries: how does it work?

Dear colleagues,

We are planning to set up a computer laboratory in our
library for use by our patrons that consists of staff
and students of two separate institutions served by
the library (the College of Medicine and the
university College Hospital). 

 I have been charged with the responsibility of
finding out how this kind of service is set up in
other libraries and how it works.  I will appreciate
your responses on the following:

1.  Are the library patrons assigned a user
identification 
before they can use the computers?
2. How often can a patron use it? Daily or once
weekly?
3. Are patrons expected to pay?
4 If no, how is the service sustained, if the
computers have internet access.
5 What are the rules and regulations guiding the use
of the computers in the library
