Personal Computer for WLN use
The IBM XT personal computer used by the librarian and staff
for word processing and for WLN catalog searching was
purchased in 1986. We have been given an estimate, of $3,389
to upgrade this computer for the necessary capabilities for
the new WLN programs, which will be issued about 1 January.
There are several 486 Personal Computers that will operate
these programs for $3,000 or less. WLN will sell us a
computer, program ready, for $2,895, or a local dealer has
given ~he library a price of $2,705 for the same computer'
with the same programs on it.
Since the library depends on the WLN catalog for cataloging
and for down-loading onto Dynix we recommend purchasing'a new
IBM 486DX2 66 from a local dealer.
