[Web4lib] PC Reservation

[Robin]

We've used PC Res for nearly 5 years (in a much smaller environment,
around 40 machines). I'll second everything Stella says. 
However there is another consideration than the software: the reseller
you work with. I've posted about this on my blog and rather than try to
rehash my rather lengthy diatribe, you can read it, if interested, at
http://ausbird.squarespace.com/on-choosing-pc-management-syst /.

Good luck with whatever system you choose.

Dani,

Jefferson-Madison Regional Library has used Envisionware's 
PCReservation and LPT-One since June 2005.   The software manages 
public access computers and printing in eight buildings.  I manage 
the computer lab at the Central Library (18 computers) and my staff 
and I love PCReservation.  I believe I can safely say that our 
patrons like it as well.  They like the sense of independence PCRes 
gives them when they log on.  I can also vouch for the tech support 
from Envisionware.  They are real people and can communicate with 
less-experienced staff as well as those of us who supposedly know 
more.  If you want more details about our experience, contact me 
off-list and I'll be happy to tell you more.
