The library will purchase a new computer, a large screen monitor and a scanner. The assessment showed several changes must be made to the computers and software in the library before the year 2000. This problem area would affect both circulation and cataloging aspects of the library. Three new computers, an updated version of Follett software, a new networking system, and new coaxial wiring are all needed to serve library patrons after the first of the year. This is evidenced by the patrons' use of the latest acquisition of Bib-Base Public Access.
Users are more willing to use it than the card catalog.
Timely access to information technology and provision of e-mail accounts for residents to communicate more effectively with their families and friends, are both goals of this project.
