Insignia Library system

Computer Reservation

The Feature called Computer has been added to manage computer use in the Library. It gives you the ability to set up the computers in your library into our system. You would then install an application on your Computer machines. When someone wants to use a computer they book a time slot. When a user wants to use the machine they would need to login with their own username and password. Once their booked time is up, the program will close. The computer will log off to a password screen. It will then be available for the next person who has the machine booked. If anyone else tries to use it, it will not let them, unless they have the right password and username
