<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Kaden,</div><div>I'm curious—did you happen to receive any offlist replies that you could summarize and share with the list?<br><br>Many, many years ago, we tried to encourage staff using circ desk computers to use their own individual roaming user profiles rather than a generic circ or staff account. Since most of my libraries have a group of staff manning circ desks, the inconvenience proved insurmountable. The compromise was a generic non-roaming staff profile used by any staff member at the circulation computers. Staff expecting to stay longer and wanting work on their own projects in a familiar environment have the option to log in with their own roaming account. Short of <u>requiring</u> individual account use via staff policy and enforcement, this was as good as it ever got. None of my libraries ever took the step of requiring individual accounts be used. We suddenly live in a different world, however. So I'm also curious what others are doing. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><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 public libraries</i></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 23, 2026 at 3:57 PM Kaden Ellerbrock via OPLINTECH <<a href="mailto:oplintech@lists.oplin.org">oplintech@lists.oplin.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>At our library, employees log in to their accounts at the front desk, and the person working the desk just uses the previous employee's account during their shift. Employees should be using their own accounts during their shift, but employees who drop by to cover the desk temporarily or help at the secondary computer find it annoying and slow to log on and set up the computer to assist. What solutions do other libraries have for this issue? I am not sure how to resolve it within the rules of our cybersecurity policy. </div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Kaden Ellerbrock <div>IT Specialist for The Brumback Library</div><div><a href="tel:(419)%20238-2168" value="+14192382168" target="_blank">(419)-238-2168 EXT: 112</a></div></div></div></div>
