This handy feature allows you to predefine and control the length of user session for each user. A countdown clock will be displayed on the screen and two notification messages will appear 5 minutes and 1 minute before the end of session. Users can send a message to the eCover Manager requesting to extend the session.

Messager
At any time during user session, library staff can send administrative messages to individual stations or all public machines at once. This way staff can easily announce to patrons that the library is closing, or send any other alerts or messages.
Clock
