LIBKI Internet Kiosk

The LIBKI Internet Kiosk is a software installed on the printing station computers. It is a time management software that allows students to use the station for quick tasks such as printing and checking emails. The time limit set on the printing station is 45 minutes. To make use of the printing station, students are required to log into the computers and then to log into the LIBKI kiosk system. 

 

Students are required to use the printing station only for tasks that can be completed under the time limit of 45 minutes. Students that have tasks that require more time than the specified time are urged to make use of the other computer station set for such tasks. To log out of the printing station computers, students need only log out of the LIBKI kiosk system by clicking on the log out button on the LIBKI timer. This will log the student out off windows as well as the LIBKI software.
