Hello, I'm the System Administrator for the Clermont Co. Public Library. =
 Our library is investigating ways to time a patrons use of a public =
workstation.  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.
