There is a publication called Use and Usability: a guide to designing
interactive
multimedia for the public, that contains some information about
implementing Kiosks.
The book is by Julia Schofield and Justin Flute and was published in
Australia in 1997.
A possible source of information (although I haven't enquired myself) might
be the department
store Debenhams. They have recently introduced kiosks (with printers) in
their Wedding Gift
department. I saw them in London (four kiosks, one out of order, and a
queue at each of the
other three) but I imagine most of the bigger branches will have them.
The Science Museum were in the process of implementing kiosks when I left
there at the
end of last year. If you e-mail me I can let you have more information.
