greetings.....

to all:

a local (buffalo) high school library has recently received a grant to
purchase 70(!) computers for their slmc. i am researching different
computer systems for the librarian before she makes the actual purchase.

the computers will be used for the internet, library resources(opac/
cd-rom, etc), word processing, amongst other uses.

questions:
1-what computers/system do you use in your library and for what
purpose(s)?

2-what are the strength(s) of the system? (what do you like most about
them?)

3-what are the weaknesses of the system? (what do you dislike about them
and wish that they would change to make it more user friendly?)

i have read the propaganda/advertisements and i would prefer the users pov
before i make my actual recommendations to her.

*note* please respond to my account and not the listserv.
it is: dtptak@acsu.buffalo.edu

thanx to all for your participation.....
