The tcehnology that has becn

compatible microcomputcr (PC) to
11 hich arc attached two CD-ROi'd
to\\'er~ each containing ~ix drivc.. This
machinc is known as thc CD-ROi\1
server. The CD-RO I server is
connected to the Collcge's high speed
cthernct nctwork and consequently
anI' appropriateh- configured PC
attaehcd to the ethernet has thc
potential to access the server. It should
be clearly understood that the older,
slOlI cr tyPC of nctll'ork connection to
PAD or EPAD will not support aece s
to the CD-ROi\1 network. Although
manv acadcmie scaff do have ethernet
connections to their offices, there are
still a significant number who do not.
Thc College has recognised the
importance of fast computer
communications and there is noli' a
centrally funded programmc in place
to provide cthcrnet connections to
cvery member of the academic staff by
the middle of next ses ion.
The CD-Ra 1 server i located at
the Strand campus and, because of the
addcd complexity in setting up
computer communications bctll'ecn
site" access will initially be limited to
PCs at the Strand. Howel"er.
prel im inar\, experimelltal work has
becn tarted on expanding the service
to other College eampuse . The fir. t
trial. hal'e been successful and it is
planned to introduce inter-site
opcration by the beginning of thc next
academic session.
11 the important publishers of
CD-RO.'I databascs now pr()\'ide
earch programmcs that 11 ill run on
PC~ under \ Iiero'>oft \\·indoll"s. These
\\'indo\\'~ programme pro\'ide much
greater functionality and case of use
than the older t\'pe of search
programme~ that run under DO.. The
dccision was thcreforc takcn to
'uppOrt only \\'indows and not thc
DOS ,earch programmes. This
decision grcath- reduces thc tcchnical
complexit\· and .upport requirements.
Consequentlv. in order to acecss the
C[)-RO:'-.I nctllork. a high-cnd PC
capablc of running \\'indows will be
neces ar\'.
fllany readers 1I·i11 be aware that
CD-ROfll discs can storc graphics.
sound and \'ideo in addition to purel\'
textllal data. This f<lnge of data types
i' normall, referred to as multimedia.
The information content of multi
media is I'ery much greater than text,
and the computer communications
infrastructure within the College is not
vet suitable for multi-user access to
multimedia CD-ROflls across the
network. Such CD-ROflls ean
currently only be used effcetively by
standalone, single user PCs. However.
there arc already departmellts such as
Geographv which wish to use
multimedia CD-ROM discs to teach
relatively large groups of students. In
order to cater for thi' demand, the
Computing Centre is planning to
equip a laboratory with appro "imatel)
25 powerful PCs each of wh ieh wi 11
hal'e its own CD-ROfll drive.
In eonclu ion I would like to
thank other members of the group who
have made great efforts to ensure the
success of this project. They are Simon
Jackson and John Henderson of the
Library and i\lark Stewart of the
Computing Centre. II' more
information is required on any a peet
