Replace DEC Alpha Web server with an Intel system to enable use of latest software releases. Needed only if decision to implement FirstClass campus-wide is made. Estimate based on upgrade of 10 rooms. Implement a facility analogous to the ITL for students. Make major improvements in the LaSala sound system to accommodate good sound for a wider variety of events.
Purchase laptops to loan to students for use in the library.
Estimate based on 20 functioning laptops. Usefulness at least partly dependent on having communications connections installed in relevant locations in the library. There are also space concerns, annual cost concerns, etc. If no charge is implemented, this system will still likely reduce paper waste.
