Some of the profiles will not be pertinent to your library, plus you will want to limit knowledge of the template and library profiles to librarians. Select the user accounts that will be available to patrons in your library, and create signs that reflect which profiles you want your patrons to use. Keep in mind that some profiles have World Wide Web access and others do not. Laminating them will make them more durable. Signs can be affixed to a desk, pinned to the wall, or taped to the top of the monitor so that they flop down over the screen.
Patrons can simply flip the sign back up over the top of the monitor to get started.
If you have multiple computers in different areas, you may want to promote the use of the computer for the purpose intended in that area. For example, if you have a computer or computers in the children's area, you may want to only indicate the availability of children's profiles on those computers. In adult areas, you may want to create a list of the profile logon names, and the programs available under each one so that patrons can select the profile that best suits their needs at a particular time.
