At Putterham, the Web browser is Netscape Communicator 4.5. We try to update the browser software with reasonable frequency, but security concerns sometimes prevent us from running the most current version. We are only able to provide a browser with 40-bit encryption. In addition to Netscape, Microsoft Word 2000 has been installed on all of the adult-use computers at the branches. We are in the process of adding Excel and Powerpoint 2000 to all of these workstations as well.
Printing is high quality but black and white only.
The charge is 10 per page. A vend system has been installed at the Coolidge Corner and Putterham libraries. By printing from the Print Preview screen, you can choose to print only one page or a range of pages from a multipage Web document. Reservations Because demand for this service is so high, we encourage reservations. You may schedule 1 hour per day.
