When a patron logs onto the Chromebooks, we decided that the easiest and least expensive option would be to have the log in as "Guest". It is on the main login screen and there is no password. The benefit is that they cannot makes changes and any information/browsing etc. that they took part in while utilizing the Chromebook is erased as soon as the log out. I have disabled the ability for patrons to log onto the Chromebooks with their own personal Gmail accounts, however, they can certainly access them from Chrome when they sign in as Guest.

The downside to using the Guest account is that they will have NO access to Apps other than Chrome or Files (where they can save to USB or email, etc). However, if they have apps that they like to play, there is a website that they can access a lot of them through. It is called Appscope: https://appsco.pe

 

 

Update: Apparently there is also a lclibrarylincoln@gmail.com account.
