OT: Good kiosk option for OPACs
Hey, all. I've tried several Linux and Windows based kiosk options, with little luck. They all seem to do one quirky thing or another and end up frustrating staff and patrons. Could someone suggest a good kiosk setup or install that works well with the Koha OPAC interface, please? Thanks much in advance! Jim Maroon
Would http://libki.org be what you need? It connects with Koha. Kund regards/Viktor Skickat från min iPad

Would this be for self-check or public internet kiosks -- both? For self-check you can use Google Chrome in kiosk mode. We used Linux and chrome for our selfchecks and they worked fine and were reliable. You could do the same with Windows as well I'm sure. We used jQuery and CSS to increase the size of the buttons and scrollbars for touchscreens. For the last 7 - 8 years, with public internet computers, we've used Groovix -- an Ubuntu based distribution with session limits, reservations, remote monitoring/admin, privacy features ....etc. There are several support options and the support is exceptional! They will do customizations and development for you -- we've had modifications for printing made and are having some additional development done for print management [ though it comes with a print release option as well ] . We had not heard of Libki until recently and have not tried it -- yet! Chad On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 9:24 AM, Jim Maroon <storypage@gmail.com> wrote:
