New Internet session management

Attention library Internet users, there's a new sherriff in town! We are now using a software package called "PC Cop" to manage Internet sign-on, session management and printing. The first time you use one of our public workstations, you will need to stop at the circulation desk to receive/update your PIN number in our records. After you have done that, you no longer need to sign in at the desk and may just go directly to any open computer. PC Cop gives you several warnings before your session time is about to expire, and if no one is on the waiting list for a computer you may extend your time by simply clicking a button.

We are very pleased with the new system and have noticed it has made using the public computers more convenient for both patrons and staff. Stop in and try it out soon!
