PC reservation system

A PC reservation system is a system whereby publicly accessible computers can be reserved for a period of time. These systems are commonly used in facilities such as public libraries to ensure equitable use of limited numbers of computers. Bookings may be done over the Internet or within the library itself using a web browser. PC reservation systems allow public service with reduced staff involvement.

Typically a PC reservation system consists of both server and client software. There are both commercial and Open Source PC reservation products on the market.
