<div dir="ltr">I've seen similar setups before using iPads as kiosks. It can definitely make quite a nice kiosk setup. Out of curiosity, though and if you don't mind answering, how much would you estimate you spent per unit in both setup time and actual hardware/software dollars? (I haven't done anything with iPads before, so have no reference.)<div><br></div><div>Chad</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in libraries and schools</i></font><br></div></div></div></div>

We went a different route and are using iPads for our WebPACs. We
have the software locked down to only allow catalog and library
website access, they use wifi to connect to the network, and the
kiosk stands prevent them from walking away. It took patrons a
little time to get used to them but they are very low maintenance. I
imagine you could do the same with lower-priced Android devices.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Looking for ideas on upgrading PAC
computers? We only use them to access information within our
catalog and our online calendar and I don’t like the idea of
purchasing a whole computer setup and not using the full
potential of the computer. We have had thin Clients in the
past and I don’t really like them since they have trouble
displaying our HTML page that was set up. A small footprint
would be great. Thought about going to the Intel NUC’s.
Thoughts and ideas welcome.<u></u><u></u></p>
