Lightning Rounds will be held in a combined session with the Hackathon Presentations.
Join the Rochester Hills Public Library as we share our experience transitioning from Microsoft-driven patron and print management to a more flexible, OS-agnostic solution. In this session, we'll walk through our multi-phase strategy to move away from Microsoft-controlled services and servers, and how we evaluated a range of possibilities for time management, public printing, and device management. Our solution: LibData.
LibData offers an easy deployment process across Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS environments, whether managing devices on-premises or handling a large collection of loanable devices. Attendees will learn how to enroll and deploy Chromebook devices in minutes using secure PAPI/Innovative API account lookups.
Additionally, we'll demonstrate integrations with services like OnlyOffice for Chrome OS, ITC GoPrint for seamless print management, and iBoss web filtering to enhance security on loaned devices. Whether you're exploring alternatives for managing public-use devices or seeking a fully cloud-based management solution, this session will offer practical insights into how we leveraged LibData to meet our library's evolving needs.
Lightning Rounds will be held in a combined session with the Hackathon Presentations.
The lightning round will discuss the impact of AI bots harvesting our digital collections, the policy the library came up with to deal with AI bots, and how we are using Fail2Ban to protect library services.
