Campus Access Point (CAP) and the Center for Advanced Information Technology (CAIT)

The CAP handles over 6000 contacts per month. After conducting an in-depth evaluation at the end of its first year of operation, the CAP has taken steps to focus its efforts on ease of access and client self-sufficiency. At the end of June the CAP walk-in service will re-locate to the first floor of the Library. The CAP will work in cooperation with the Library staff and Repro Graphics, to coordinate information services and to facilitate access to networked information resources.

The CAIT continued to showcase new and emerging technologies offering over 375 demonstrations this past year as well as regular presentations by major vendors such as IBM and DEC. The evaluations have focused on the expressed interests of the clients - e.g. groupware and imaging tools. There have been over 50 tours of this facility by outside organizations. With the relocation of the CAP and a Repro Graphics satellite operation to the same first floor Library wing as the CAIT, next year will see an aggressive effort to coordinate the activities of these units and to link them with the Library.
