</div>Heh, that is clever! But if there is no mouse, is there any way for<br>
patrons to terminate their "session"? Or does their list of borrowed<br>
stuff remain on the screen until the page reloads/autoterminates the<br>
session (after 120,000 milliseconds, apparently)? And does that not<br>
make it possible (not to say unavoidable) for the next patron in line<br>
to register books on the account of the previous patron who used the<br>
self checkout?<br></blockquote></div><br>We leave the mouse hooked up and instruct our patrons to be sure to end their own session.<br>
