Justification
Existing student computers are becoming outdated and
need to be replaced. The use of flat screen monitors will
capture valuable desk space, which is crucial in the student
areas. Also see IT major project plan – 2003
Web production software such as Pagemaker and
Dreamweaver to enable faculty to produce high quality
information for library users. This is essential for at least 10
of our action items that incorporate and utilize Web pages in
the delivery of library services. Also assistive techn
To be used to explore and implement the digitization of
items in the reserve collection.
New hard-drives and computer to allow loading CD’s for
The New York Times and Sacramento Bee so that all
available years will be accessible to library users .
Tables that are adjustable to various wheelchair heights to
facilitate access to services and resources for users with
disabilities.
Library faculty and thus entire campus benefit from the
knowledge and skills gained in the Information field at
workshops and conferences.
High-quality map and brochure that describes the services
and products in the LRC will be used in library instruction as
well as other building users.
