Subject: Patrons Filing Taxes Via Web on Public PCs

We are getting many inquiries from patrons who want to use the library PCs
to file taxes through the web. We are interested in finding out how other
public libraries are handling this. Specifically, what, if anything, do
you tell patrons about the risks of using public PCs for this? We are
concerned about cookies, and even using the "Back" button to see previous
screens with private information. 

Thanks in advance.
