Raspberry Pi 
An inexpensive computing solution 
for MPL’s OPAC
What’s a Raspberry Pi?
Why Pi? 
• A general purpose desktop ranges in price 
from $300-$600. 
• OPACs are only needed to browse the library’s 
catalog – a lot of the features on a GP desktop 
are unnecessary. 
• Raspberry Pis (RPs) have a base cost of 
approximately $39, and can be outfitted with 
cables and case for under $100.
Cost Breakdown – Two Choices 
Item Cost 
Raspberry Pi B+ $39.95 
Case $8.95 
8GB SD card (x2) $29.98 
HDMI cable $4.95 
VGA to HDMI 
$18.95 
adapter 
WiFi Dongle $8.50 
Power Supply $7.95 
TOTAL $119.23 
Item Cost 
CanaKit – includes 
Raspberry Pi B+, 
Case, Power 
Supply, WiFi 
adapter, HDMI 
cable, and 8GB SD 
card 
$59.99 
8GB SD card $14.99 
VGA to HDMI 
$18.95 
adapter 
TOTAL $93.93 
ALREADY HAVE 
SD Card Reader  Monitor (VGA)  Keyboard  Mouse 
When smaller projectors get upgraded, we will have 2 VGA/HDMI adapters
Location 
We could 
ask Dominic 
to build us 
a shelf to 
secure the 
RP and 
cords. 
ADA 
accessible 
OPAC – 
currently 
only really 
have in YSD.

Shaddow in the Library (AU)
White Plains Public Library
Locking them Down? 
• RPs have a built-in kiosk mode that can be turned 
on. They can be set up to go right into a full-screen 
browser. 
• Create a user login so that patrons can’t access 
the root login. 
• Physically secure RP using whatever apparatus we 
use to house the user peripherals - make an 
“outer case” to secure board and cords, while still 
making it accessible for staff to do 
troubleshooting.
But Linux! Code! Ahh! 
• The Raspberry Pi Foundation, who makes RP, 
is all about Education. 
• The original intention was to make a small, 
affordable computer so kids could learn how 
to code. 
• This means there are tons of articles, blog 
posts, and forums on how to set up and 
troubleshoot your Pi.
What About Staff Time? 
• We should be able to get a RP set up and 
configured in about 4-8 hours. 
• This translates to $69.44-$138.88 worth of 
staff time (VS Librarian). 
• This is still cheaper than having our IT perform 
the set-up.
IT Support? 
• Ed is familiar with RP (he has two of them 
himself) so would be able to help 
troubleshoot if needed. 
• RPs is run on Linux, so anyone with an 
understanding of Linux should be able to do 
tech support.
What Else Could We Do? 
• Set up a retro gaming station for 
kids/teens/adults. 
• Digital Signage 
• Include a RP in a mini maker-space. 
• Programs (run by http://workshop88.com/ - 
they did one for St. Charles)
Summary 
• Adding additional endcap OPAC stations 
would be more financially reasonable with 
RPs, at roughly $100 per computer. 
• Would be “just enough” computer to serve 
the necessary purpose. 
• Plenty of “how to” out there to help us along 
in getting set-up. 
• Potentially for expanding to replace the 
plasma screen computer.
