The library’s collection consists of approximately 57,000 non-Wizarding items, with a circulation of over 130,000 items a year. Materials include books, audio-visual items, newspapers, and magazines. Access to subscription-only electronic databases and other online resources is provided to all patrons. Downloadable e-books and audio materials are available through the Kansas State Library program using Overdrive technology. A fully automated materials catalog is made available through the North East Kansas Library System (NEKLS) integrated library system, based on Koha, an open-source solution. Access to the online Koha-based catalog is made available to patrons through the library's website. The library uses time management software called Smart Access Manager (SAM) to ensure patrons get adequate and equal time on the public access computers. Symantec, Websense, and Deep Freeze software products protect computers from malicious software, unsecure websites and unwanted downloads.<br />Currently two telecommunication connections exist at Ottery St. Catchpole Public Library: (1) T1 line provided through the NEKLS for access to the Koha Integrated Library System and for public and staff internet connections and (2) wireless Internet service via Cable ONE Business Standard Package providing broadband connection speeds of 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload through one Wireless Access Point.<br /> <br />Inventory of current technology environment: <br />10 public access computers, Dell OptiPlex GX620 Desktop, with Windows/XP 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007 Suite<br />5 staff computers, Dell OptiPlex 740, with Windows/XP 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007 Suite<br />2 patron catalog stations, Dell OptiPlex GX620 Desktop<br />3 laptops equipped with wireless capabilities, Dell Inspiron e1505<br />CISCO CISCO1841 10/100Mbps (Wire-speed performance for concurrent services at T1/E1 WAN rates) Modular Router 2 x 10/100Mbps LAN Ports <br />Linksys WRT54GL IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router <br />LINKSYS WAP54G Wireless-G 54Mbps Access Point<br />HP Color LaserJet CP3520<br />Websense Internet filter<br />Koha Online Public Access Catalog & Integrated Library System<br />Deepfreeze software<br />Symantec anti-virus software<br />Smart Access Manager (SAM) for computer-usage time management<br />Adobe Acrobat 7.0<br />Xerox Coin Op V-tower with Xerox C-118 Copy machine<br />Canon M31016100 Microfilm/Microfiche Viewer & Scanner<br />HP ScanJet 4470C flatbed scanner<br />Aleratec 240135 CD/DVD Disc Cleaning and Repair System<br />6 pairs of Logitech Stereo Headset H110 headphones<br />TECHNOLOGY VISION STATEMENT: <br />Due to the recent legal requirement for all public buildings to be accessible to all Wizarding and non-Wizarding individuals, the vision statement for Ottery St. Catchpole Public Library’s Technology Services has been updated as follows: <br />The mission of OSCPL’s Technology Services is to ensure that the technological needs of all individuals living (and unliving) within the village and surrounding areas are met through providing: up-to-date technological access, sufficient technological resources, and well trained staff. Library patrons, regardless of Wizarding ability, will be able to fulfill their information needs in a timely manner. <br />This will support the library’s general vision statement:<br />The Mission of the Ottery St. Catchpole Public Library (OSCPL) is to provide access to information, and to provide educational and recreational services, materials, and programs for patrons of all ages and abilities. The library will strive to meet the information needs of all individuals living (and unliving) within the village and surrounding areas.<br />TECHNOLOGY HISTORY: <br />During the last three years, the following goals for technology were met:<br />Maintained use of Internet Filters (Websense) to match the requirements of the Federal Children’s Internet Protection Act. At request, Websense is deactivated for any adult patrons.<br />Increased the number of public-access computers from five to ten.<br />Upgraded the monitors on the original five computers (previously CRT) to match those of the new.
