Getting the Message Out With DiscoverStation

Have you ever wanted to tell a patron something without leaving your desk? With DiscoverAssist, it's a snap. You can tell kids to be quiet or remind a patron to move their belongings out of the aisle just by selecting their computer and typing your message:

Simply log onto DiscoverAssist and select the station(s) in question, type out your message and send it.

Have you ever wanted to quickly take a patron off a public computer without a confrontation? Now you can with DiscoverAssist! One of our many new features allows for librarians to diffuse a potential hostile situation without a direct confrontation by disabling or limiting functionality on any station.

Library Fun: Pimp My Bookcart

Here at Userful we love creativity, especially the kind that makes us chuckle. The Unshelved site, home of the only comic strip to take place in a library, recently hosted a ?Pimp My Bookcart? contest. Over 100 entries were received, and the winning cart makeovers are amazing. Check out the fun, and start planning for next year's contest.

Featured Feature: A Safer Public Computer

Since Userful's first deployment of DiscoverStation in 2003 to our 300+ locations to date, no DiscoverStation has been infected with a virus. You'll also see less pop-ups since DiscoverStation's use of Mozilla-based browsers gives a level of pop-up protection that you won't see on a Windows machine. If you'd like to learn more about how DiscoverStation makes your public computers safer and more secure, contact your Userful Representative today.
