ORDER THE 21ST EDITION, THE LAST PRINT DIRECTORY, NOW

The results from the internet connectivity survey have been tabulated. Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out and return the survey.

We had 178 responses to the survey, 162 respondents had internet access and 16 did not have internet access. Of this total 93 indicated the prefer using a print directory while 81 preferred the online directory.

After careful consideration of the results, a print directory will be published in November 2004, but it will be the LAST print directory published by the I&R Network. What this ultimately means is if you do not have internet access you have 10 months in which to resolve this issue. Beginning in September 2005 there will only be the online directory.

A limited number of copies of this last edition will be printed. In order to make sure you get a copy of this final printed directory take a moment now to fill out the subscription form on the inside back cover of this newsletter.

Need training on how to use the online directory for your staff? Call Joe or Lori at (559) 488-3857 to arrange training sessions. The Network will also be offering training at the Central Library computer lab; watch the Network News for announcements in the coming weeks.
