Public Access to Microcomputers: Thoughts From the North‐Pulaski Experience
Abstract
Of the 88 public libraries responding to one 1982 survey, twelve (or 13.6 percent) had at least one “public access” microcomputer and ten (or 11.4 percent) planned on getting one “in the very near future.” From all indications, things have escalated since then. Here in Illinois, the first public access “Users Group” for librarians was created. This phenomenon has been fueled by the belief that computers are becoming so commonplace that learning how to use them is almost as important as learning how to read and write.
