| contents | Installing and Managing PC Time-Control Software Dawson, Jennifer Computer Software Computers Library Networks Libraries Access to Information Public Libraries Employees of a West Virginia library system were tired of intervening in frequent patron fights over the public access PCs. In this article, the author discusses how the implementation of time-control software for an automated session reservation/management service reduced the conflict. A team was assigned to investigate PC management software. Its goals were to find a solution that would achieve equity of access to electronic resources, efficient and orderly management of resources, and elimination of threats to create a safe environment for computer usage. They started by researching and reviewing software packages. Then they considered policies, training, evaluation, and promotion of computer usage. Among other things, the author describes their first year as a period of adjustment. |
