Sign-Off Instructions - End Research Session

To end the research session, it is essential to click Sign Off. This will ensure that the seat becomes available immediately for the next patron. If the patron closes the Internet browser window rather than clicking Sign Off, it will take 7 to 10 minutes for this seat to reset and become available for the next patron.
