[Koha] patron internet usage timer add-on

[James Ghiorzi]

Dear Shane,

The software you looking for is usually called time and print management software.  The ones I am most familiar with are EnvisionWare, Sam by Comprise, and Cassie by Librarica.  All of these integrate into Koha using a SIP2 connection.

Hope that helps,

James Ghiorzi

Odd question, but here goes. . .

The librarians would like to be able to scan a user's library card and have
it turn on their internet access for a set amount of time.

They want to limit a patron to 2 hours of internet time per day.  So the
program would need to verify the user hasn't used up their time. Turn on
internet access to one of the patron computers.  Then turn off access when
the time is up.  Much like they do in some internet cafes.

Does anyone know of something available? Even an open source php script that
times computer usage I could hammer into a usable add-on?  I've tried a ton
of searches, but I'm not even sure what you'd call that type of software.
