There will be two distinct areas set aside for Internet
access at the WCC:
The Internet Cafe will be located in the atrium lobby of
the WCC, and will be open 24 hours per day. It will
have 15 PCS arranged in three groups of five tables. It
is meant as a casual, drop-in place, and will be located
near the concession stands.
The Internet Room will be located in the Exhibit Hall
near booths 617 and 618. It will have 17 PCS, 15
stand-up stations and two stations intended for
wheelchair access. The Internet Room will be open
during Exhibit Hall hours, namely Saturday 9 - 5,
Sunday 9 - 5, and Monday 9 - 4.
There are also two Internet-ready meeting rooms
available if your group would like to do
demonstrations, etc. Contact Conference Services
Office for room availability.
Both open locations will be self-serve, first-come
first-serve. Software for all machines is still being
discussed, but all machines will have AT LEAST a web
browser (probably Netscape) capable of http, ftp,
gopher, and telnet access. We will also probably have
a TN3270 client on each machine.
If you have any questions about Internet access or
email at Midwinter, please contact Michelle Visel, ALA
Conference Services Office, 50 E. Huron Street,
Chicago, IL 60611; 312/280-3225, mvisel@ala.org. At
midwinter you can contact Michelle at the Washington
Convention Center, Hall-D, 202/371-5000,5001,5002.
