You will need to buy a few different ones at quite a cost. What are you trying to accomplish? I find it amazing that libraries continue to try to do whatever they can to make it difficult for their patron to use their equipment and get the information they need. Are you planning on charging them for internet use also? I've always felt that is our job is to provide patrons easy yet secure and open access to resources at all times. As far as locking down the desktop this can all be done via Windows policies and profiles or setting the browser as the shell. You might want to look at Public Web Browser which is a version of IE rewritten for libraries with extra utilities at: http://teamsoftware.bizland.com/ They do have a solution that resets the workstation on preset intervals. If you make the browser the shell then that is all the Patron will be able to access, instructions are on their site on how to do this.

This product is flawless. In three years, I have had no permanent workstation software crashes, virus problems (you don't even need virus protection software), or any damage issues whatever with hacked machines. The product works by presenting a virtual workstation environment to the patron, allowing him/her to do ANYTHING to the machine, while isolating the actual operating system and hardware from access. If any harmful action crashes the machine, a simple reboot restores all the initial settings, and you have a fresh machine. Speed is not affected - the machine works as designed. http://www.deepfreezeusa.com/index.htm We authenticate patrons by a signup sheet, asking for their name and time signed on. If there are patrons waiting, we enforce the one hour limit; if not, they may continue computing until someone else needs the machine. We have had no negative attitude problems using this method - people understand that everyone needs fair and equal treatment for Internet access. This works, of course, because we have a dedicated tech room with all machines in one place, and a staff person on duty. There are timed internet access products out there, and a Google search should find them for you. Hope this helps!

I don't think that's a fair characterization. Libraries are investigating ways to automate what they have to do manually. At my small suburban public library, the reference librarians found that their jobs had become the same as restaurant hostesses: taking names and maintaining the computer schedule. When we instituted automated time controls on the computers, the librarians could stop doing it manually. As kludgy as the time- control system was, it made me a hero to the reference staff. Not all libraries can pay for the technology skills enjoyed by the metropolitan libraries. It is far cheaper to buy a product that does what you need it to do than to pay for a person who understands Windows policies. (But you're right, Jim: Windows profiles can handle the security that Mindy is looking for). I'll second Jim's recommendation of Public Web Browser (http://teamsoftware.bizland.com).

If you're using Active Directory (with Windows 200 or 2003 servers), or operating them in a workgroup, then you should have an easier time getting them to run on the network properly without much extra configuration locally. If, however, you're using a Windows NT 4 domain, there are extra steps you need to take on each machine to make them communicate properly with the domain. If this is the case, I can tell you what we've done to run our XP machines on an NT 4 domain.

Message-ID: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS 03-049.asp >From Eweek Larry Seltzer: Security Update No New Vulnerabilities, But Definitely Time To Patch! Even though Microsoft announced recently that no new security bulletins are scheduled for December, other news has emerged that makes it urgent for you to re-check the status of your systems and make sure that certain patches are applied. This goes double for systems on the Internet periphery of your network. Researchers at Core Security Technologies have discovered a new way to launch a previously disclosed attack on Windows . The new attack is fast and remotely-based, so the potential is there to attack large numbers of systems quickly. Microsoft had listed in their security bulletin several potential workarounds that could protect users even without the security patch, but the Core findings circumvent these workarounds. The only safe way to proceed is to apply the patch. The vulnerability, a buffer overflow in the Windows Workstation service, is particularly serious because it can be invoked over the network without the user performing any action to permit the attack. It also appears that the technique discovered by Core could serve to circumvent similar workaround procedures for other Windows vulnerabilities. But if you have applied the patch for this vulnerability , released about a month ago, you are protected from this attack. Time to get moving and update those systems. You've been warned.

At present, we are using a program (developed in - house) that times a patrons use of the internet, but we would like to extend this timing to all applicatons (games, Office applications, etc.) I would like to hear from other branches that are doing this, what kind of problems you've encountered, what kind of software are you using, etc. If you are doing this, what is your interface like? Does a patron have to login to the workstation to begin a session or does a session begin automatically when an application is opened? Any input will be appreciated.

We are analyzing a few options which include buying individual printers and scanners, multi-function all in one units, and/or network photocopiers. We are moving towards print management software for our public next year as well. So thought I'd check to see what everyone else is doing. Here is are a few questions... 1) For color printing (staff and public) are you using laser or inkjets? 2) Has anyone had experience with multi-function units and wants to recommend/not recommend a particular unit? Thanks as always guys! Greg.

We just bought an HP Color LaserJet 4600 for our library (around $2000) It's beastly huge but the output is tremendous! It's fast, comes with 96 MB RAM, and can print on plain paper without that waxy look to it. It uses 4 toner cartridges so if one color runs out you only have to replace that one cartridge. We installed it in September and still haven't had the need to replace any of the cartridges yet, although we will need to soon. The tray holds a whole ream of paper. We installed it centrally at the Adult desk and anyone in the library (staff or public) can use it. The per copy cost is extremely low (around $.03-$.05) so we opted to keep our $.10 charge for public copies. Needless to say, the patrons love it :-) --Karen Perone, Rodman Public Library From delanema@oplin.org Tue Dec 30 16:42:47 2003 From: delanema@oplin.org (Margaret L.

For staff we currently have a limited number of color inkjets for Administration and Coordinators, a large format inkjet HP 1700 printer (11 X 17) that is networked, and a (donated) networked Xerox Tektronics Phaser color printer. No color printer is currently available to the public but if we do decide to offer color to the public, it will be a networked laser printer operated through our stored value card system (LPT:One). The color lasers from Minolta and HP both look good but we're not planning to acquire one soon. > 2) Has anyone had experience with multi-function units and wants to > recommend/not recommend a particular unit? For staff (only) we have a number of networked Minolta Pi1501 printer/copiers. These machines have proved to be excellent making good copies and prints with decent speed. General staff don't have individual printers in their back office areas, just one machine serving the whole office. The copier feature saves a lot of trips to the copy room in our very large building. I'd recommend these highly. Downside is that Minolta doesn't offer recycling of their print cartridges the way HP does. We have no scanners available to the public at this time though we are regularly asked for them. We may add one or more, but dread the support issues that will arise. We have two scanners available to staff with one dedicated to our P.R. associate for publications work and have not investigated the use of a scanning feature on a multi-functional device. A large-format scanner will be added as a component of a local history digitization project. -- ------------------------------------ James Guilford, Technology Associate Westlake Porter Public Library http://www.westlakelibrary.org
