MAY 2000 MEETING MINUTES:

Approx. 65 persons attended the two meetings we had this month touring the new technology resources at the New York Public Library's Center for the Humanities and the recently renovated Rose Reading Room. NYPL Senior Project Manager Mark Hirsch was our tour guide through this wondrous facility as we focused on getting information technology resources into this historic building.

We toured the facility during nonpublic hours, and heard from Architects at Davis Brody Bond and technology consulting firm Shen Milsom Wilke as they described getting technology through the stacks below into the 100-year old desks. We then docked a laptop computer to the library's ethernet backbone at one of the enabled ports.
