Dear Bill:
I think the Athena install was done by MIT Libraries technology staff so
it might be informative to contact them about the issue. These are not
QuickStations within the scope of IS&T support. Our best course of action
is to raise the issue with MIT Libraries and offer to help figure out what
is going.
Good to see you over in Stata Bill! This is one of the buildings that
represent intentional architecture that force reactions, both positive and
negative. What did you think of it?
Phil
