[OPLINTECH] ideas for timed access sought

[Craig Heaton]

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.
