Subject: [atrt] Public Libraries ? Share Your Stories About Public Access Computers!
Hi. I am on the steering committee for the MaintainIT Project. We are looking for some information. Please see below for more details. Please help if you can. If you can’t share a story, pass it on to someone who can. Many thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MaintainIT Project (www.maintainitproject.org) is gathering stories on how libraries maintain computers and Internet services for their communities. From the information collected, the Project will create best practice guides tailored to different types of public libraries and will distribute the free guides beginning in Spring 2007.
Librarians, IT staff, and technology consultants are invited to share both challenges in keeping public computers running as well as successes and lessons learned. Stories can be submitted online at www.maintainitproject.org or by contacting the project at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or 415-633-9390 and 800-659-3579 x 390.
Until December 15, the emphasis is on gathering stories from small, rural libraries, as the first guide will be oriented towards your needs.
The MaintainIT Project is a three-year project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. MaintainIT is a project of TechSoup (www.techsoup.org), a nonprofit serving fellow nonprofits and public libraries with technology information, resources, and product donations.
