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

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.
