How do you maintain your public computers?
Librarians want to know.
Librarians want to know.
That's a direct quote from Faye Hover from the lovely Smith-Welch Memorial Library in Hearne, Texas. Faye is a contributor to the MaintainIT Project and has shared her experiences in the Cookbooks, in a Feature (download the pdf), and now... in the new MaintainIT Project WebJunction forum!
That's right: there's a new MaintainIT forum on WebJunction where you can learn from the experiences of others and air your own challenges and frustrations. Maybe someone has a solution to your problem!
Faye continues...
"Not only is it a lack of money in small libraries, it is a problem getting someone to come RIGHT NOW to fix the computer. If you don't have very many public access computers, it is bad to have even one down."
Are you nodding your head in recognition? Wander on over to WebJunction to share your experiences and find out how libraries are using the Cookbooks. You'll be glad you did!
