Re: [CODE4LIB] Windows 8
Like Cynthia that decision is made at the campus IT level. Over the past year I've migrated nearly all lab and staff PCs from XP to Win7 (keep an eye out for a related question I'll be posting later today on that topic). Campus IT is toying with some Win8 images, but haven't been happy with any of them. Given that they're still finishing up their XP migrations, though, I seriously doubt we'll be moving to 8 anytime soon, if ever. -Bill Helman Integrated Digital Services Librarian.

[CODE4LIB] locking app for iPads
Dear Fellow Techs, We're looking to create a circulation policy for iPads (gen 4) in the Learning Commons, and were wondering about an app that will lock the device after a specific amount of time (3-4 hours). The idea is if a student does, in fact, steal the device, they will be locked out of actually utilizing it. Has anyone heard of something like this? Many thanks!

I don't know of a time-sensitive one, but Apple's Find My iPad (or iPhone), has an option to remotely lock a device: https://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my-iphone.html I suspect it needs a network connection to send the signal to lock. I don't know if it'll stop anyone who can jailbreak the device, but it would hopefully stop the person attempting to 'borrow' it long-term.

Re: [CODE4LIB] locking app for iPads
We installed Find my iPad through iCloud. We have not needed to use it because we have a strong circulation policyhttp://blog.spu.edu/librarytechdesk/files/2012/09/iPad-Checkout-Policy-2012.pdf that will fine the students if they are late or do not return it. The fine goes directly to their student account (won't be able to register for classes, for example).
