They have been given the funds to adopt a new program involving the purchase of two to three computer terminals, a printer, and a device for cd Roms. What we would like is a tower that would provide the network with access of all discs from any terminal at any time. The CD ROMS we are hoping to buy will be of an educational nature. We will be buying some reference tools (sources for citations in periodicals, and newspapers), some discovery tools, and some interactive applications. We are still in the discussion stage, and are not finding the hands on meat and potatoes answers in journals and reviews. Please if you have either equipment or software that you feel strongly about, either pro or con, I would welcome your advice. Thank you. I really feel like a fish out of water!
