Library Technology Team
1997 Project Schedule
This project involves the migration of the public-access workstations in the Central / Science & Engineering Libraries to a new operating environment. The previous environment included Windows 3.x, a user interface created through Saber Menu, and a CD-ROM server based on LanCD/FastCD. The new environment will use Windows NT as the operating environment, Netscape Navigator as the primary user interface, and will use a Novell IntranetWare 4.11 server for CD-ROM applications. The CD-ROM discs for the Central/Science will reside on either magnetic drives of the IntranetWare server or will be managed through the 150-disc NSM Mercury 40 Jukebox.
