Great Recipes for Successful Public Computing

Congrats to Michael Fettes of Alachua County District Library in Gainesville. His 'recipe' for a smart and easy laptop checkout plan is in the MaintainIT cookbook.

And to Sherry Millington of Suwannee River Regional Library System in Live Oak who decentralized their knowledge base and shared the technical know-how of her department and eliminated some of her driving time.

MaintainIT offers a great place to share how your library keeps public computers running. Some of the other interesting ideas I've seen -

• Wireless Policy Checklist
• Making the most of Technical Volunteers - includes ideas on recruiting, supervising, training
• Using your Transporter to Complete Scheduled Maintenance
