Library use is not quite the same as kiosk use. Unlike the kiosk extension for the Brooklyn Museum, library use involves full Web surfing activities. Thus, the keyboard is fully functional. Also, the PC may also be used for other tasks -- other applications -- requiring normalizing, closing, or minimizing the browser window. Since my county's library system accepts no federal funding, filtering is NOT done on most PCs; some are filtered for children's use. Overall, a browser for a library should have more flexibility and capability than a kiosk browser but somewhat less than a work-environment browser. | Library use is not quite the same as kiosk use.
