ChromeOS is a Linux distribution, and Libki ( <a href="http://libki.org/">http://libki.org/</a>) is a PC reservation application that's compatible with Linux. It may take a bit of work, but I'd imagine that it could also work on ChromeOS. Since the OS primarily runs through a web browser, you might also check the Chrome Web Store to see if they have any apps/extensions for public-oriented computers. We use Firefox on our Linux-based public computers, and there's have a handy extension called Public Fox ( <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-us/firefox/addon/public-fox/">https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-us/firefox/addon/public-fox/</a>), for instance.
