To Digital Divide Network: Is there an organization keeping track of requests like the one below?
Judy Hallman ([EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.rtpnet.org/hallman) Executive Director, RTPnet, NC (http://www.RTPnet.org/) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Louisiana needs computers Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2005 10:11:51 -0400 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The State library of Louisiana has sent out this call for computer equipment... If you are interested and able to send computers, here is the request from the Louisiana State Librarian, Rebecca Hamilton. "To all--we are in desperate need of computers/printers. We are being inundated with evacuees needing to file FEMA applications, unemployment, search for loved ones, etc. and are coming into our public libraries to use the computers. Our libraries have greatly extended their hours to accommodate the people but they need additional computers and printers. If you can please put the word out that if anyone wants to help immediately, this is our greatest need." The specs for the computers: * Pentium 3 * Windows 2000, prefer XP * Laser printers if you can still get toner for them Computers may be sent to: State Library of Louisiana 701 North 4th Street Baton Rouge, La. 70802-5232 If you are able to assist them by sending computers, please let Rebecca know via email: Rebecca Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] just to help them plan. This will help her know what to expect and also help us to know (if necessary) when to stop sending them there. I am sure that we will hear from other states about similar needs. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
