Well, remember that RT interfaces with email.  For your staff, and for
patrons who have email and, perhaps, are using your access to get to
it, they can merely send email to "helpdesk at your.domain.name" (or
whatever alias suits you).

For people who have no email at all, you could set up a web form that
prompted for the right stuff (including some other contact method), and
sent an email to RT.
