All,

I am trying to get an overall picture of what other libraries offer their patrons when it comes to access on public computers and the software on those computers (PC's, not thin clients).  Anyone willing to participate and possibly advise, once the information is gathered, please email me answers to the questions below.  I apologize in advance as the list is long.


                All questions are in regards to patrons:

*         What operating systems are you currently running?

*         Do you offer more than one type of OS?  Do you have MACs?

*         Do you offer iPads or Kindles?

*         Do you offer word, excel and powerpoint?  If so what version?

*         Do you allow saving to my documents?

*         Do you offer limited, time sensitive space to your patrons for storage?

*         Do you allow saving and use of a USB?

*         Do offer Ipod or mp3 player use?  Downloads and uploads?

*         Do you offer DVD playing?

*         Do you offer DVD burning?

Again, I apologize for the long list, but I am interesting in building a network of fellow Library Technology savvy individuals who are good at problem solving and are willing to work with each other to accomplish some great things!  Thanks for your time and if I can help you in anyway, please don't hesitate to ask.
