Title:  Maintaining Public Computers: Learn from the Experiences of Others

Date and time: September 30, 2008, 12pm - 1pm

This webinar will last approximately an hour. There is no charge for this
Infopeople webinar.  Pre-registration is not required.

At the MaintainIT Project (www.maintainitproject.org), we interview hundreds
of librarians about how they maintain, support, and sustain their public
computers. We then publish all of their experiences, successes, and
challenges in FREE guides called Cookbooks, so librarians can learn from the
experiences of others who've done it before them. 

Here's the best part: everything the MaintainIT Project does is FREE (thanks
to a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant), and everything is on the
website! Watch this webinar to learn how you can use MaintainIT resources to
make a difference in your library. 

*	Are you tired of spending time figuring out how to maintain or
support your public computers? 
*	Do you wish you could ask other libraries how they manage their
public computers? For example, how do they manage printing? Reservations? Do
they have borrowing policies? 
*	Are you interested in sharing how your library gets things done? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're in luck: the
MaintainIT Project is here to help! 

Join Stephanie Gerding and Brenda Hough from the MaintainIT Project
(www.maintainitproject.org) for an informative conversation about public
access computing resources that are available to you for free.
