[OPLINTECH] Circulating iPads?

[James Guilford]

Hi Folks,

We're considering venturing into the world of tablet computing in a very 
limited way, at the moment, looking at purchasing an iPad or two for use 
by patrons inside the library.

I'm familiar with Apple's iOS platform and its general use but would 
like to know how libraries that are circulating iPads are coping with 
their unique challenges.

Particularly I'm interested in knowing what practices help keep iPads 
set up as desired by the library; how do you prevent installation of 
unwanted apps, clear pictures, bookmarks and history from Safari, etc. 
-- is running a full restore at a designated staff PC the best or only 
way of doing this?

Advice and experiences are requested!
