Daily time limits?

My old library had a daily limit of 180 minutes per card per day. We also used Envisionware and staff could override the limit if a member needed more time to complete a job application, FAFSA, etc. This worked well and helped us make internet access available for an increased number of users. (We also had multiple 15 minute Express Terminals. Very nice.)
