[OPLINTECH] Public keyboards

[Stephen Cram]

I shake out keyboards once a week and wash keys once a month with alcohol.  It keeps them from getting too gross.  
But I do wash my hands after each time I handle them.  
And don't get me started about what I find in them.  [Shudder]  
(Just thinking about it makes me want to to wash my hands again.)   ;o)

  Our keyboards for our public computers don't take very long before they are disgusting.  Do you clean?  Do you use silicon keyboard covers?  Do you just replace often with cheap ones?  Are there keyboards where the keys have a low profile and framed to make them easier to clean?  What are other libraries doing about this issue?   I am assuming we aren't the only ones with this issue.  When I talk about cleaning, I just don't mean what a can of air will blow off.

  If you have specific keyboards or silicon covers that work please let me know.
