The Library Development Office is pleased to announce that we
still have some refurbished desktop computers available for interested
libraries.
These computers are all Dell Optiplex 780s, running Windows 7
Professional and have a minimum of 2GB ram, 40GB or larger hard drives, a DVD
Drive, antivirus software, an Ethernet card, and are internet ready. These
computers come with all of the required cables and mice. Flat screen monitors
are also available.
These computers are provided at no cost to interested
libraries through a partnership between Net Literacy, a central Indiana based
volunteer organization and the Indiana State Library. Since 2011, this
partnership has made over 1,200 free, rebuilt computers and monitors available
to public and institutional libraries in Indiana.
Quantities are limited and priority will be given to
recipients that can arrange to pick up the computers at the Indiana State
Library. Electronics cannot be shipped via InfoExpress.
Please visit Net Literacy’s website http://www.netliteracy.org to
learn more about the organization and their efforts to improve Digital Literacy
nationwide. The Indiana State Library, in partnership with Net Literacy,
is once again making free, rebuilt public access computers available to
libraries. These computers are available to any public or institutional library
in Indiana (sorry, but schools are not eligible for this service).
If you would like to request computer(s) for your library,
please complete this short online questionnaire by clicking
here. Requests will be accepted until November 30,
2016.
