Virtualization or Multi-Seat Computing Options for Public Libraries

[SMITH, BAE S.]

Hi Rachel,

We implemented Useful at the Santa Fe Public Library almost two years ago.  We are a three branch small/medium size library system.  I would be happy to answer any of your questions.

Best regards,

Bae

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Virtualization or Multi-Seat Computing Options for Public Libraries

Hello wonderful Web4Lib,

We are preparing budget proposals for changes in management of our public access computers and are looking at both virtualization (we are a Microsoft shop) and multi-seat computing (Userful).  Our County IT department wants us to get information from comparable library systems.

Specifically, do you know of any library systems who have implemented virtualization as a solution for public access computers?
Do you know any library systems who have implemented Userful or some other multi-seat option?
We are specifically hoping to find systems who might have implemented something along these lines more than a year ago, so that we could get comparative costs for first-year implementation versus continuing costs.

Any help is most appreciated!

v/r,

Rachel S. Langlois
