[OPLINLIST] laptops in libraries

[Laura Thorne]

Looking for some advice regarding library-owned laptops.  We will be
receiving 6 laptops thru ConnectOhio and wonder how other libraries utilize
them.  Do you keep them behind the desk and "check" them out to patrons, for
in-library use only?  Did you load filtering software?  How do you handle
printing needs?  Would it be better to have them at a designated "laptop
station?"  Did you implement any security measures to prevent theft?
Thanks in advance
