While waiting for my rather slow circulation workstation I began wonderin= g if any vendors make a workstation specially for circulation. I use a high end 486 which is slow, rather than take a pentium out of us= e by the students. We are a moderate sized high school so I can get away wi= th it. In situation where I have a line, I have students write down name and= bar code number, then input them when the business slows down. I just can= 't see taking a multimedia machine to use only for checking books in and out= . What do other LM_NETers do? Do you have a station specially formatted for= circulation (without speakers, cd-rom drive, etc)? Or do you have to use = a high end station? Are there any vendors who sell such a station? This would be similar to small businesses who use a "point of sale" computer rather than use a lar= ge station for sales. If no one makes such a station, perhaps we can encourage a vendor to fill= that need. I will post a hit if there are any responses. Deborah J. Stafford Gen. H.H.
