CybraryN does a good job of enforcing hours that the computer can be used. For example, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. It is also effective at enforcing time limits. For example, each user can use the PC for 60 minutes and they receive a message at 50 minutes. CybraryN also provides a captive menu so that the PC is secured from patron manipulation.
I am not aware that you can actually reserve the computer for use at certain times using CybraryN. However, you could modify the allowable hours so that you are effectively reserving the PC at certain times.

Hello,
At our library in the Universitat de Barcelona we are trying to find a
program that would allow us to limit time of use and permit students
to make reservations (ie "book ahead" ) on the computers with internet
access. We've found on the internet a program, CybraryN
(http://www.cybraryn.com/), which seems to perform the functions that
we need. Has anyone tried this program? What experiences can you share
with us, regarding the use of this or some other program that controls
access to and time spent on the internet?
Thank you in advance for your help
