Testimonials
"Installing the mConsole computer and print management system in our library has cut down dramatically on the amount of staff time that we used to devote to monitoring computer use. Now, when a user's time is up, the computer simply logs out. There is no need for staff to risk arguments with patrons about giving up their computers. We have also seen great savings in printing supplies since we release print jobs from the front desk. mConsole has been a huge improvement and, after a year of using it, we don't know how we got along without it! " Mimi Herrington, Bad Axe Area District Library"I know it has been a bit since we started using the mConsole. We love it. I had a staff meeting this morning and all the girls agreed that it has been a wonderful solution to many issues we face by providing free internet service." Kate Van Auken, Rawson Memorial District Library Director
"mConsole has allowed our library staff to manage our public access computers in a simple and non-confrontational manner. The entire program is very staff and patron "friendly", and we are extremely happy with the end results. mConsole has taken all of the worry and tension out of managing this segment of our library population." Gail Nartker, Sandusky District Library Director
"mConsole is a quick and easy solution to efficiently assign our public access computers to our patrons. Staff can see at a glance which computers are available and the screen may be customized to our preferences. mConsole manages each session on every computer, saving staff time and effort. The Waiting List has taken the stress out of trying to figure out whose session is ending and whose turn is next. Reports are available to track computer use statistics. We discovered that our PACs are actually being used much more than we realized." Beverly Dear, Sanilac District Library Director
"mConsole has helped the library to run more efficiently. Staff can easily assign patrons to a computer and the software takes it from there, keeping track of their time remaining, ending a session when it is the next person's turn, and adding time if no one is on the waiting list. We now rarely have to fight with people to get off the computer as they can see their time is up. The print management portion of the software also saves the library money as now no one can walk off without paying for their copies." Jennifer Walters, Aitkin Memorial District Library Director
