If you take this approach you should consider taking it a step further by editing the toolbars, there are several, in Preferences on the user access machines to remove the icons for the more "damaging" functions (e.g. Edit Metadata, Remove books, ...). This won't totally block access to these functions, but will reduce their visibility.
