They are pursuing a different brand. Video: HB had been delivering equipment all day for the studio. They said it will be complete 30 calendar days from occupancy of C &D. Data: the remainder of the computers are coming into the building now. They are pre-configured with software. They have changed from CC Mail to Microsoft Exchange. Paul asked the reason for the change? Mike said it was the recommendation of CIC, the school is using Microsoft products and it is easier to manage in the long run. Paul asked about the library, does it have the ability to use multimedia? Mike said he is working with John Williams to set up phase H. Theresa Furfey, librarian was present. She said the card catalog has not been set up yet. She has been told it is a networking problem. Wicham said they have done all they can, it is a networking issue. She wants to open the library after Christmas vacation. Paul said this problem was brought to the attention of CCR before Thanksgiving. CIC says one thing,Wicham is saying another. That was 30 days ago and it is not resolved. The librarian is becoming very frustrated. It may be a simple solution, or it may not,we may have to purchase something. It is not fair to be unable to use the equipment. Mike Kirwin said this was resolved before. CIC said it was working. Ms Furfey said Wicham is a very good company, she has worked with them for years, she trusts them. They said they cannot go any further because of the networking issue. They cannot set up the card catalog. The kids have to be able to access the card catalog without getting into administrative information. Paul said the school is going on vacation this week. Mike Kirwin must make sure it is running on January 2! This has been an issue for a long time. The vendors have to get together.
