CASSIE offers a rich set of features for managing your public computers and printers, and also offers
advanced features for enterprise customers. This allows you to implement your policies and let the system do the work for you.
CASSIE will allow you to take control with:
Patron Authentication
Patrons sign in to your computers and are automatically authenticated against your specified data source (e.g. ILS). Protocols supported are SIP, III Patron API, LDAP, ODBC or standalone database. Native encryption is available for all connections to ensure the security of your patron data, which is especially important for hosted ILS systems. Guest accounts are available for occasional or out-of-town users.
Session Time Management
Fully automate your computer usage and time limit policies: choose whether to offer multiple sessions per patron per day and/or session time extensions, and specify unique usage policies for each group or by attributes from the ILS record.

Print Management
