TECH:WAN Help

[Susan Mackey <smackey@AINET.COM>]

Dear Friends,

My district has decided to link 15 elem and 5 middle school libraries in
a WAN.  There is some hardware at some sites, but up until now there has never
been a coordinated program.  I have been charged with this task,and I want
input.

What recommendations do you have for me?  Hardware and software?  Recycle
what we have or start fresh?  Staff training?  Timeline?  Vendors?  Link to
secondary district and public library?  Server in a central location or
servers at each site?  Anything positive or negative would help us.

Thank you, Susan Mackey smackey@ainet.com
