01/11/01- New Remote Desktop Access to LCLLA Server

   The "Members Only" section has been greatly improved.  Now, instead of accessing individual applications, members will logon to a complete desktop.  You will still be able to access the powerful research tools which were available remotely...Plus now you will also be able to fully utilize the expanded resources of the Library system.  Examples of these are direct application Faxing, storage to CD-RW,  shared Network Storage, secure Archival Backup, high-speed download of MP3 and Internet Graphics and a new Brief Bank.

  New features will be added all the time.  This system will provide resources found in the expensive networks of large firms for the price off Library Membership.  Another advantage to the new design is a Single Login and a more reliable Citrix Client.  For more information contact the Library Staff or the engineers at KCS Systems.
