[Publib] Re: Computer Reservation Software

[Andy Barnett]

We have been on Telus for a number of years. The main selling point 
for us was that it worked across networks. We have three ISPs in the 
library and the public computers on all three are controlled by 
Telus, as are those at about a dozen other libraries in our area. It 
does print management if you want, but we didn't think it was worth 
the price in our situation.

You can even change the book periods by time of day (short sign ins 
between 2-5) if you want. You can also bar someone from the Internet 
and still let them use other software (application suspensions). Get 
it for your whole system and get a price break and interoperability 
for patrons.
