You might want to look at:
1.Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) Administration document:
"1999 Recommended Specifications for Public Access Work Stations in Federal
Depository Libraries"
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/mintech.html
which describes hardware/software/peripheral specs for installing new
public access to GIS materials.
2. MAGERT: How to Get Help from Colleagues

listserv for map librarians .. o subscribe to Maps-L, send an e-mail
message to listserv@listserv.uga.edu, and type the following in the text of
