Public Access PC time management software

[Eric M. Battaglia]

Hi,

I apologize if this subject has been covered before.

Has anyone had any experience with time and print management software for public
access machines?  We're looking at SAM and CybraryN.  We have five public access
PCs specifically for Internet and PC work, with two more for this purpose in the
Youth Services department.  We expect our computer room to grow with time, and
would like to implement a software that can help us manage patron's time used,
printout payments, and enforce our Internet use policies.

If anyone has experience implementing either one of these or a similar product,
I would appreciate it if you could share some details:

How large was your institution?

How many PCs were covered?

Did this software interact badly with security software like Deep Freeze or Fortres?
