[Web4lib] Kiosk Software

[Susan Moreland]

There is a Kiosk mode available using Public Web Browser put out by Team
Software Solutions - http://www.teamsoftwaresolutions.com/.  It's very
reasonably priced and Public Web Browser runs off of Internet Explorer.  We
use Public Web Browser on some of our computers, but I haven't used the
Kiosk mode so I don't know much about it.

Hi Cathryn,
  
  I don't know if this will work for you, but we use Mozilla as the  browser
for our public access catalogs.  It has a kiosk  extension.  We had to
install jslib for it to run.  The jslib  is found at
http://www.mozdevgroup.com/clients/bm/index.html  .   The extension for
Mozilla is at the Mozilla site.   The last time I looked, it was not
available for Firefox.  You can  create a whitelist to control which sites
the browser will allow.   We have been quite happy with it.
