After being an English teacher for a quarter of a century, I am now a
media specialist (otherwise known as librarian).  We are in the
process of networking our library.  We have 3 work stations for
students, 2 for library administration, and a file server.  We have
multi-user Molli, minuet, pmail, MS works, and wordperfect.  We have
connected our file server with a file server in the English lab and
will also connect with the business lab soon.  One of my multitude of
questions is what is the best menu for our situation.  Do I make the
card catalog accessible to everyone and then give the other
privileges on a need to/asked for basis...or do I give login scripts
to all students that they must use even to get into the card catalog?
What will we do about logging on from the outlying labs?  I would
appreciate any "experienced" opinions because I am a novice in every
sense (except age) of the word.

One non sequitur....I belong to a book club of ten women (from ages
50 to 75), and we would like a "fresh" list of good books to read. If
you would send me the name and author of your favorite book, I
would appreciate it tremendously.
