| Synopsis: |
Every day, staff in every library struggle to solve the problems associated with publicly accessible PCs. Lost system files, viruses, desktop management, Internet browser issues, and massive printer waste all are constant hassles. In answer to these problems, software vendors offer a dizzying array of products to aid with print management, system recovery, desktop security, and other solutions. Sifting through these software offerings is time-consuming and often confusing for library staff members. Sauers and Alcorn have obtained copies and tested them in library settings. In addition, they have gathered reviews from staff in libraries across the country. A wide selection of software titles in the following areas is covered: system recovery, application launchers, timers and session monitors, print managers, security programs, privacy protection, and special browsers/kiosks. Over 60 types of management software are reviewed and rated.Each review includes screen captures picturing key windows, the description of the software's functions according to the manufacturer, reviews by the authors on the usefulness and practicality of the software in library work, platforms it will run under, pricing (including licensing options), and extensive comments from various librarians who use that software. All software receives 1-to-5 star ratings for overall performance, ease of setup, configuration, customization, and the convenience of end-user interface. This is the first directory of its kind - and one, which is sure to solve problems encountered in every library. |
