Access to Information Computer Networks Decision Making Disk Drives Information Technology Library Automation Library Services Local Area Networks Microcomputers Models Nonprint Media Optical Data Disks Technology Planning Vendors Workstations In an era when patrons want access to CD-ROM resources but few libraries can afford to buy multiple copies, CD-ROM local area networks (LANs) are emerging as a cost-effective way to provide shared access. To help librarians make informed decisions, this manual offers information on: (1) the basics of LANs, a "local area network primer"; (2) the basics of CD-ROMs and the technology needed to run them; (3) CD-ROM networking; (4) sharing CD-ROM drives on peer-to-peer LANs; (5) sharing CD-ROM drives on Novell NetWare Networks; (6) sharing CD-ROM drives on UNIX, VINES, VAX, Mac, and other networks; (7) planning a CD-ROM network; (8) networking issues and concerns; (9) servers and workstations; (10) memory management; and (11) network standards and specifications. Appendixes discuss installation of SCSI host adapters, offer illustrated examples of CD-ROM networking solutions, and contain a directory of 250 product vendors with addresses and phone numbers. A glossary is provided, and a selected bibliography contains 85 recommended readings and the titles of 25 relevant periodicals. (BEW)
