Re: Getting the most from computers

[Barbara Allen <BSAllen@AOL.COM>]

We are at the tail end of district-wide networking, both LAN in the school and
WAN between schools.  Naturally, the elementaries were last, so we've had the
elementaries automated on standalones for a couple of years.  Last year they
started networking the elementaries and the district network tech's would give
us (Library Services) periodic lists of the elementaries that would be next to
be networked.  We would then make plans accordingly only to find out that the
school is considered "networked" if they delivered a fileserver to the
building.  In many cases, the library isn't even wired.  We currently have
three sites that have been "networked" for over a year and the libraries are
still standalone.  I get so frustrated sometimes, I could just scream!
