John, Dan Scott and Kevin Beswick wrote an article about Laurentian University's Linux kiosks for the Code4Lib Journal in March: Quick Lookup Laptops in the Library: Leveraging Linux with a SLAX LiveCD http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/49 "This article discusses the experiences over the past year at Laurentian University in deploying a Linux live CD solution to create customized kiosk browsers on 'quick lookup' laptops. This provides security, reliability, ease of use, and improved response time compared to other options. We explain why we chose this solution, reveal techniques we used to achieve some of our goals, and reflect on possible future iterations of this project." Best, Jodi -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Houser Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 4:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Open source workstations in academic libraries I'm in the process of writing an article about open source workstations and am looking for an academic library example to use as a case study. Does anyone know of one? This could be a library using Linux or BSD on public workstations or using the Linux Terminal Server (LTS). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
