[Web4lib] computer booking system for public library

[Houghton-Jan, Sarah]

I have had experience with both SAM and another product, Library Online (from Telus).  Library Online is, by far, a superior product.  My experience with SAM has been one of the most negative software experiences I've had in my career.  Library Online, on the other hand, was almost completely trouble-free and the log-in and reservation processes were easy to learn for the users.  I would recommend Library Online over SAM very, very strongly.

We have a client who is using SAM from Comprise Technologies and is happy
with it. This may be one of the "full-bodied systems" to which you refer.

We are looking for a computer booking package that would enable our users to
book a library computer remotely (via our website) for computers at our 16
locations.

Our search has turned up full-bodied systems which include hardware,
printing and room booking solutions. This is too much for our needs.
We'd like security blocking on the pc itself and authentication to go
through the patron API.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

thanks, Lisa
