Public Access Computing
RSS

Welcome to the general Public Access Computing topic area. This part of the site contains information and discussion about the technologies, policies, and advocacy issues around providing public access computing in libraries.

The MaintainIT Cookbooks contain great practical information on maintaining PACs in libraries of all sizes.

If you are looking for the information about Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation granted computers that used to be found in the PAComputing site, that information is now located under Gates Foundation Granted Computers.

If you're looking for public computing technology competencies, they are detailed in the publication Sustaining Public Access Computing Programs: Management & Technology Competencies.

And remember, if you have an article or information about public access computing that would help other libraries, please contribute it to WebJunction. Member contributions help make our online and live communities stronger and are definitely appreciated!
