At the Mansfield Library, Univ. of Montana we partially have a library
classroom that is shared with the Registrar's Office. We usually can
schedule the room afternoons. The room includes one computer workstation
connected to a ceiling projector. Also includes video and CD Players.
The computer center operates a computer lab in the library. We can
compete for this if doing a hands on computer lab.
The Computer Center is considering installing Interactive dynamic
ports in our classroom. This would give students with portables computer
access. Hope this helps.

Library System, Long
Island (Member Libraries number 54): NLS has a classroom equipped with
ten workstations plus a trainer's workstation. Workstations include PC,
CD-ROM drive, printer connections. A computer projector can be run from
the trainer's PC or a laptop. PCs run in Windows 95; Netscape is the
Internet access software. PCs also can connect to systemwide DRA system.
Primary purpose of the Training Center is to train library staff in DRA
functions, Internet access, in addition to basic computer operations. We
also use the TC to demonstrate new online and web products, and new
networking and telecomm technologies. TC policy allows use of the room
for training of public once the library staff's needs are met; also can
be used by other library professional organizations to present training
programs (e.g., New York's SUNY/OCLC network, Long Island Library
Resources Council programs). The TC has been operational since November
1996, is fully booked, including some evenings and Saturdays, through
July 1997.
