[Koha] OT: Good kiosk option for OPACs

[Chad Roseburg]

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!
