New Equipment is Here

All the other computers arrived, the printers are waiting, and the software is still going through updates and refinements.

Next week, one of the computers and a printer will be demonstrated to the librarians this Monday. The rest of the week will be spent prepping the other sixteen computers, and finishing the first of the documentation.

During the second week of November, the equipment will be deployed to all eight branch libraries.

For those of you wondering why the East Tawas Library is retaining their Pentium 3s: it is because the City of East Tawas purchased those computers, not the District. The Librarian prefers to retain them as Chilren PCs, and will keep them until they likely die. Otherwise, all the remaining Pentium 2s and 3s will be phased out with no exceptions.

The Wiki has been updated to reflect current software and other pertinent information.
