Print Station Operation. Microcomputing Working Paper Series.
Wozny, Lucy Anne
During the academic year 1983-84, Drexel University instituted a new policy requiring all incoming students to have access to a microcomputer. The computer chosen to fulfill this requirement was the Macintosh from Apple Computer, Inc. Although this requirement put an additional financial burden on the Drexel student, the university administration felt that resultant educational gains far outweighed this cost. On the other hand, staff and faculty alike were determined to keep any additional computer-related costs to a minimum. As part of this effort, print stations were set up throughout the campus so that students would not need to buy their own printers. The university pays all costs related to these print facilities. The printer provided for student use is the Imagewriter from Apple Computer, Inc. This paper describes the set up of the print stations, hours of operation, usage statistics, and repair and service provided by the Equipment Support Group (ESG). (THC)
