Janis Brown
Norris Medical Library
University of Southern California
JBROWN@PHAD.HSC.USC.EDU

	Equipment:  21 386sx's in a user lab; 12 MAC (most SE's with  3-IIci's) and 21
386sx stations in a classroom.
	CAL packages:  220, including word processing spreadsheets, but majority are co
mputer based instructional  materials.
	VideoDiscs: 30 interactive videodiscs - some level II interactive video requiri
ng a videodisc player directed by remote control, but most are Level III using a
 videodisc directed by a microcomputer.
	Serves: entire health sciences campus - including schools of medicine, and phar
macy, as well as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant
 program.
	Note:  One of the problems we have with interactive video is that different pro
grams require different equipment configurations.  First there is the problem of
 Level II and Level III programs which means that we need a more expensive video
disc player than if our programs were all solely computer-directed.  Then there
is the problem of two-monitor systems vs. one-monitor overlay systems.  Some pro
grams require the two-monitor system, others require the InfoWindow one-monitor
system.  Since IBM has replaced the InfoWindow system with their M-Motion system
, that's another platform to get.  Although we're told that M-Motion stations sh
ould run all the old InfoWindow software, I don't think that it's quite that sim
ple. There is also the problem of Macintosh vs. DOS-based programs. In our libra
ry we have 2 two monitor systems that can also play level II programs, 1 InfoWin
dow system, and 1 Macintosh two monitor system.  The Medical School here has a s
pecial interest in interactive video, so they also have 13 InfoWindow systems an
d 13 M-Motion systems in a separate area specifically for medical students.
