<p>Same. Thanks for your thoughts, and for putting them so well,
Chad.</p>
<p>Any other opinions? I can imagine there must be some security
risk in allowing this, though of course everything we do is a
balance between security and service, and the risks here don't
seem inordinate.<br>

<div>Years ago I used to lock the computers down pretty tightly.
Computers were relative a new thing in libraries and
librarians were more paranoid. These days, patron computers
are logged in with user-level privileges and they all have
Deep Freeze. So I take the attitude that if a patron can
install a program without elevated privileges, they're welcome
to do it. I don't care. That's exactly what I tell the staff.
I also don't lock them down nearly as heavily as I used to.
They're all on isolated/firewalled network segments and are
frozen. So they're cleaned out at every reboot. This allows
for maximum utility for whatever the patron needs, while
keeping the library's network safe/secure. This is the
approach I've taken for the last ~10 years or more and it's
worked quite well. YMMV!</div>

<p>Do you allow patrons to run software on public computers
other than what's installed? That would include portable
software and I suppose even browser extensions.</p>
