[Libs-Or] Patron Computers

[Peterson, Rick]

Hi Jennifer,

We use CCBoot (http://www.ccboot.com/) to restore computers between sessions.  At around $50/PC each year, it's much cheaper than Wyse WSM, which we used previously.  It's extremely easy to use.  We can update our image while patrons are logged in.  We have multiple images (general use, PAC, print-release station).

We use Envisionware's PC Reservation for session management and their LPT One software for printing.

Hope that helps,
Rick

Hello fellow Oregon library peeps!

I'm hoping to tap into the hive-mind's knowledge regarding public access computers. Our district is looking into new solutions for resetting the computers after patrons are finished with them. We are currently using Libki for reservations, Papercut for printing, and Reboot/Restore to erase and restart them, but Reboot/Restore isn't working so well for us. What is everyone else using? How do you like it? Also, budget-wise, is it $, $$, or $$$?

Thanks for your help!

Jennifer :)
