[mod.computers.vax] Computer intensive campuses

ncapon@augean.OZ.AU (Dr. Capon) (08/28/86)

This message is being sent to several groups. I apologize to those who see it
twice.

i am seeking to establish contacts with people concerned with planning for
computer intensive campuses. (alias, `workstations for every student')
My interest ranges from the technical through the managerial to the academic
outcomes.

Our setting is a state-funded University of 10000 students. The current PC
to student ratio is about 1 to 20, but we want to raise that as soon as
possible. It is likely that many institutions will have the same problems
of costs, benefits, impacts on network resources etc, and we would benefit
from discussions. Some institutions are more advanced down this road than
we are, and I would like to talk to them particularly.

It may be that the people I want to contact are not direct users of the
groups I am using; I would appreciate it if readers would pass on the
message or send me suggestions.

Please reply via electronic mail as in the header. Otherwise via AIR
mail (necessary) to

I.N. Capon

Thank you for your help.
