<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">I'm not sure about
Chrome, but in Firefox you can use an add-on called Reset Kiosk
to reset the browser after a certain period of inactivity. We
use it on our catalog stations. That solves the problem of
people leaving their login up.<br>
<br>
Michelle's suggestion about incognito mode is a good one. You
can also customize the privacy settings, which is what we do. In
Firefox, we have the following options chosen:<br>
<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li>Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked.</li>
<li>Accept cookies from sites</li>
<li>Accept third-party cookies: Never</li>
<li>Keep cookies until: I close Firefox</li>
<li>Clear history when Firefox closes.</li>
</ul>

Cheers!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re having a problem here at the library
and I thought I’d throw it out to everyone to see if anyone in
libraryland has a great solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have about 20 publically-accessible
computers, many of which are occupied at any given time. Quite
frequently, patrons are accessing their email. It turns out
that gmail has a checkbox called ‘Stay signed in’ that is
checked by default with a lovely green checkmark. If the
patron unchecks this box before signing in…no problem. If the
patron remembers to log out of email…no problem. If, as
frequently happens, the patron just clicks the browser shut
and walks away…problem! The next person who accesses gmail
ends up signed into in the previous user’s account. I’m not
sure if this happens with IE and Firefox, or just with Chrome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The solution would be to somehow
automatically uncheck the ‘Stay signed in’ checkbox at the
login screen. Way back when, this checkbox was unchecked by
default. Obviously, Google wants to collect as much data as
possible on gmail users, so they globally changed the setting,
but this option works poorly in a public setting like ours. An
online search led me to a variety of supposed solutions (e.g.
to uncheck the box then NOT delete cookies; to change an HKEY
via ResEdit, etc.), none of which work. Also, patrons don’t
read signs. They just don’t.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have the ability to make our PCs restart
at the end of each session. This would solve the problem, but
is non-ideal for several reasons I won’t bore you with, but
you might be able to imagine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, for those of you who have read this
post to the bitter end…do any solutions spring to your fertile
mind? If so, please share!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
