After checking activities and space availablity it has been determined (by Me!) that 19 July 1987 is the best day to do this. The meeting will be held in Ann Arbor Mi at the school of education of the University of Michigan at 1:00pm. We will have one large classroom and 2 copies of the MacTechnics and my two macs with external drives. Several other MacTechnics members may appear. As people call me to tell me that they are coming I will post a file on GENie and AppleLink to inform people of how many Mac and Apple II libraries will be there. I recommend that you bring the following with you to the meeting: Two to three people- no more or there will not be room. Two to Four Macs or Apple II's with two drives orone drive and a hard disk. Two copies of your library, two hard copies of your catalog, and lots of blank disks. Please do not bring any commercial software with you except a copy program. This exchange is intended for public domain and shareware software. Any one who wants a copy of my Mac Catalog in advance sent 2-800k disks to MacTechnics, 1801Independence #4, Ann Arbor Mi. 48104 by the 1st of July. Page two of this letter is the copy session rules and page 3 is the map to the school of Education. The building will contain signs to direct people to the copy session rooms. We will get a second or third room if needed by the demand for space. There is no fee for this meeting and Taco Bell is across the street if you get hungry. Three pieces of Business need to be conducted at the meeting, 1) the site for the next one of these if there will be one, 2) A proposed standard of organization for libraries, to be in place for the National Apple Users Group Conference in April of 88 for both Apple ][ and Mac software, 3) discussion of what the Librarian's Exchange BBS should be. I will have the Phone # for the BBS at the meeting. Those of you who can not make It will have to send me a letter to get your validation and phone number. I am sorry but I am trying to limit this board to active club librarians. I want a working board where software problems and libraries can be discussed and the latest and greatest PD and shareware Software can be up and down loaded. I hope that this meeting will be well recieved, reduce downloading costs, time, and be the start of something that we can all enjoy and that will reduce all of our workloads. Please help me out and attend or at least RSVP with your club the size of your MAC and APPLE ][ libraries, to the address above. If this one works we will try for one on the East and West Coasts eventually with one MidWest Rep going to each coast for Apple ][ and Mac. Thanks for your help and time. Doug Houseman UG0025 Librarian MacTechnics GENie: D.Houseman Home of NAUGC 88 ----------------------------------------------------------- Copy session rules: 1) each club will set up on one of the Indicated locations, they will be labeled by club name. 2) all disks will be labeled as follows: -Mac--400k-Red mark on the label with a 4 in it --800k-blue mark on the label with an 8 in it -Apple II --GS- with a GS on the label in red --DOS3.3- with 3.3 on the label in blue --Prodos- with Pro on the label in green --CP/m - with CPM on the label in black --Pascal-with Pas on the label in orange --other- with a black lettering and a yellow hi-lite on the label ALL DISKS will contain the name and the phone number of the librarian, either on the disk or on labels that will travel with the library. 3) An attendance sheet will be kept and copies made for all attendees 4) Copying will stop at 2:00PM for 15 minutes so that a vote on the location of the next meeting may be taken. 5) Clubs will exchange whole libraries for a period not to exceed 1 hour if there are other clubs in the que for either library. No club will bring less then 2 copies of their library 6) Clubs will give credit where credit is due. If you use a disk from another club say so in your newsletter and on the disk. 7) Clubs are responsible for all of their own disks and equipment. 8) Clubs who do not register with me by phone or mail by the 10th of July get pot luck, If we have space you are welcome, If not I am sorry. With out an accurate record of who is planning to come, I can not plan space or staff to handle the situation. 9) New rules can be declared by the Host (ME!) at any time to fix any problems I see. Please work in the spirit of Dayton and lets not have to have any more rules, in fact prove to me that these rules are not needed except for labeling. PS. MacTechnics MAC software Library is over 350 disks with no system or finder on any disk. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO GET LOST: Coming from the North/South on US23: -Get off at the Ann Arbor exit, exit 37 (a or b depending on your travel direction) -turn right onto Washtenaw (its your only choice here) -follow Washtenaw to the fork in the road, you want to be in the right hand lane. follow the right hand fork (ps this will still be washtenaw) -follow Washtenaw to South University, Turn Left on South U., you can tell you are getting close when you passed the multi-colored painted rock. -follow South U to West U, one stop light and two stop signs. Turn left to unload equipment or right to park. The school of Education is the First Building on the Right after you turn Left. But if you want to park, turn right into the dead end street(see below). Coming in on US14 take 23 south to exit 37 and follow the directions above. Coming in on I-94 -Take the Ann Arbor State Street exit. -follow State Street to the 3 way stop in front of the Student Union. -Turn Right at the stop sign onto South University. -follow south U to the first stop sign and turn right to unload equipment, left to part (see below) Ann Arbor Parking The one law that is aggressively enforced in Ann Arbor is the Parking regulations--do not park in a loading zone except to load or unload and then only for 10 minutes and with someone remaining with the vehicle. Do not let your meter expire except during the times free parking is indicated on the Meter. There is a loading zone just before the school of Education that will hold 5 cars, unload and get out, do not use the 2 handicapped spots unless you like paying fines. There are over 50 spots on the dead end section of W. University and the meters are honest. Please lets not let a parking ticket spoil a good day. If anyone is coming in by air let me know ASAP but not later then 1 July if you want picked up at Metro Airport. If anyone is coming in on Saturday and wants a place to stay let me know by 1 July, But by mid-June would be better, indicate whether you want a cheap hotel, good hotel, or to stay with a MacTechnics member. Our monthly meeting is at the school of education on Saturday the 18th, first group of people to ask can have my floor for saturday night and an early shot at the MacTechnics library. --=doug=-- good luck.
