PCs for conference-goers

Beginning with the 1988 Midwinter Meeting in San Antonio, ALA will provide PCs in the ALA office area at ALA conferences. The intent is to help both staff and ALA members to get work done faster and more efficiently. Because this equipment is not budgeted, the number of typewriters available for staff and members will be cut in half (from 40 to 20). The resultant savings will allow for the rental of three IBM PCs, one Mac or Apple computer, and one additional printer. Users will have to provide their own software and diskettes.

Use of the equipment will be on a first come, first served basis with the following exception: the COGNOTES staff, which usually rents two PCs and two printers, will have exclusive use of all equipment from 3:00 p.m. through midnight. The rest of the time other ALA members and staff can use the equipment, limited to one hour per sign-up.

Because RASD/MARS has volunteered their services and because conference staff are not computer experts, ALA will rely on them (or other interested member groups or staff) to develop a survey for users to determine how the equipment was used, monitor the sign-in process, and provide technical expertise to users. ■ ■
