How do you use Linux in your Library?

["Edward M. Corrado" <ecorrado@hera.rider.edu>]

Hello OSS4LIBers,

I sent this message to both the Linux in Libraries list and the Syslib
mailing list previously, but someone suggested that I send it here also.
Please pardon any cross posting.

I am preparing a presentation on Linux and how it is used in libraries (in
particular, Rider University's Libraries) for a conference. As part of
that presentation, I would like to give a brief overview of how different
libraries (outside of Rider University) use Linux (and if possible, the
approximate date the library started to use Linux for this service). I am
interested in any way you use Linux, weather it is in the back office as a
web, file, dns, e-mail, print server, etc. or as a public workstation.
Also, if you have used Linux as a public workstation, I'd be very
interested in any experiences (positive or negative). I would also be
interested in the use of other free Unix-like O/S such as the BSD O/S's. I
apologize for any inconvenience caused by cross-posting this message, and
any responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Edward Corrado
