LIBRARY NARRATIVE
During the past four years the library staff has been training the public on internet use. The one day class is
offered two times per month, once in the evening and once during the day, with 8 -14 individuals attending. The
average attendee is over the age of 50, and tends to be female. The participant are comfortable with the machinery
and will usually continue to come to the library to use the computers funded by an earlier Telecommunications
Infrastructure Fund grant. We also offer two computers for word processing and graphics use.
The population not comfortable with what we offer is the person who has no computer skills. This tends to be the
aging population, the stay at home parent, and those who do not work in an office environment and do not have a
computer at home. While some have expressed interest in attending the two hour interne( class, they often state
that they don't even know what a mouse is. In fact, replacing our character -based card catalog with the Windows -
based catalog has caused some problems for those who have never used a mouse before.
Goal: The goal of the program is to train adults to become effective users of computers that the library owns, and
to be sure that by using such equipment to the individual's fullest potential the adult can fully participate in the
growing "online democracy" environment in which we are heading. At the current time, many of the members of
our aging population are not able to do basic mouse skills and are baffled by our move from character based to
Windows -based library catalog systems.
A secondary goal is to train those who are familiar with computer basics to use the Internet, to use the Internet
more productively, or to use application software programs, particularly Microsoft Office products, more
effectively.
A third goal is to improve access to the internet by implementing our own T -1 line. We currently go through the
city. By adding 10 computers for instructional use, and once the Literacy Council adds 10 computers in their lab
located on the second floor of the library, transmission speeds will degrade further.
Purpose: The purpose of the Round Rock Public Library Adult Computer Learning Center is to provide an
inviting environment for segments of our population that are uncomfortable with using today's computers. It will
do this through appropriate technology and a trained set of trainers composed of paid staff and volunteers and
with speeds faster than we are currently experiencing during peak internet times.
Objectives: The library is proposing the creation of a computer learning lab. It will include 9 "seats ", with a 10`"
unit used by the instructor. The room will be outfitted with a projection system as well so the instructor can
project the results of actions which the attendees can repeat. Instruction will be provided in Internet use, exploring
effective Internet sites, and the use of Microsoft Office products. Library staff and volunteers will provide the
instruction. Except for materials which the "student" may take home with him/her, there will be no charge for
staff or volunteer sponsored computer training.
The current Internet instruction that we offer twice a month will be expanded in terms of length and depth. As our
Internet stations are heavily used during the time of instruction, existing training needs additional resources.
Additionally, one day a week would be offered by Senior Net to train the aging population on effective use of
programs for their personal budgeting, health, and communication.
At least one other day per week will include training to the population that is not part of the aging segment on
software applications and basic computer skills
We have a room in our new facility which can be dedicated to computer instruction. A second T -1 connection will
be added. The library has been going through the city's T -1. However, with over 40 computers running through
the T -1, most with heavy intemet use, plus the addition of 10 more computers through this grant which also
involve increased internet use, a second T -1 line should reduce some of the slower speeds currently experienced
on the city's T -1 line.
Expected results: The expected results of the learning center are to have a minimum of:
•.• 24 adults complete basic Internet training each month
• 36 senior citizens attend Senior Net instruction each month (or a similar curriculum)
• 24 adults complete basic computer skills each month
• 24 adults complete application training each month
The city has proven its commitment to telecommunications costs. It currently funds the T -1 connection for the
city. The library is not currently billed for those costs. The new facility is totally cabled, so there are no additional
costs to the city beyond what is proposed in this grant and the subsequent annual HB2128 related costs. Over a 3-
5 year period, the computers will most likely need to be replaced. We have a plan of replacing old computers at
this point, and they would be placed in the rotation. Most computers which leave "heavy use" are placed in the
public area for public catalog access or particular programs not requiring heavy CPU requirements.
FORM 11: SYSTEM, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND NETWORK
The library currently has a LAN and is part of the city's WAN. There are over 100 ports located in the library at
the current time. About 40 are in use. The library has switches on both floors with a fiber optic cable connecting
the switches between floors. The library is running 100 megabits. A fiber optic cable connects the library to City
Hall. Existing T -1 service is provided through City Hall's Information Technology (IT) Department. IT also
manages e-mail. Web services are hosted on the Southwestern Bell site http: / /www.ci.round- rock.tx.us
A room on the first floor of the library has been set aside for this program and is ready to be utilized right now.
The room is intemet- ready. It has been used for multi -user computer training already, using individual's personal
computers which are "lugged" to the site. However, the existing T -1 is insufficient to effectively handle both the
library's heavy internet use and the intemet use of additional terminals. The city's T -1 handles not only library
traffic, but also traffic from several city offices. When the city's new finance system is available on -line to
everyone, the existing "pipe" from Southwestern Bell will be further strained. Also, it was discussed with the IT
department in 1997 that while the library can share T -1 lines with the city for a while, at some point it would need
its own T -1 line due to the wide bandwidth that internet browsing requires. The IT manager supports this
additional line.
As itemized in Schedule D, there are costs for a Cisco router /CSU /DSU combo, similar to one recently purchased
for another city project, a Cisco PIX firewall, and an ethernet switch to accommodate the 10 computers. The room
will allow no more than 9 students and one instructor using a projection system, if each student is to have his/her
own computer. The computers purchased will meet, if not exceed, the minimum level in terms of speed, storage,
and other specifications found in the grant guidelines. All products will be installed by the City's Information
Technology Department.
Software licenses, using educational discounts, will include Microsoft Office Standard with Front Page and
Internet Explorer. Senior Net will also need Quicken loaded on each computer.
The city routinely upgrades, repairs, and maintains most of its computer resources. Existing library computers are
on a 3 -5 year replacement cycle. In the library no computer which is still usable sits in a state of disrepair. Repairs
are made within 48 hours if parts are available, or as soon as parts or replacments can be provided by the supplier.

FORM 15: SUSTAINABILITY /SECURING FUNDING
The only direct ongoing cost will be the $3400 per year for HB 2128 supported T -1 access. With the current
Round Rock economy, this cost will be readily assumed by the library. In fact, maintenance costs are often the
easiest to justify in this city.
Costs that are more difficult to measure directly, including staff time for instruction and maintenance of
equipment, will be absorbed into existing staff functions. In terms of instruction, the reference staff and volunteers
have asked to provide this service. In the long run they feel it will save time. We have the services of the entire
Information Technology staff to support us in terms of maintenance. The system administrator on "permanent
loan" to us is available 24 hours a day and is housed in the library. The library has been able to sustain and
upgrade everything we've done over the past 16 years of automation and desktop computing.
FORM 18: BUDGET PLAN
Maintenance of financial records:
The City of Round Rock maintains purchasing and governmental accounting records following professional
standards and practices. The records are audited annually. The City has won numerous awards for accounting
professionalism, budget presentations, and the like. Purchasing is made through QISV vendors whenever the cost
is the most effective. The bid and quote process is well defined by city ordinance as well as through the
appropriate State purchasing requirements.
Cost - effectiveness via matching funds and in -kind contributions:
The grant requires a 10% match, which we are able to meet. In -kind contributions include staffing from paid staff
and volunteers, and assistance from the Information Technology division. We are also devoting an entire room
just to this project. Rooms are always valuable in any organization, even if it is for storage. Fortunately, we had
already wired the room for net access when we constructed it in 1999.
How the proposal builds on existing base:
We already have the staff that has been training the public over the past few years in basic internet use. However,
they are committed to providing more in -depth training. As we move from our older Dynix system to the newer
Horizon Library System, the staff would like to offer patron training on more effective use of the library
cataloging system.
We already have most of the LAN pieces together, other than a switch, to make this project work internally.
While we would not have to have a separate T -1, we are at a point where we need to separate from the city's T -1,
especially in light of the load these 10 PCs would place on the city's WAN and the 10 PCs the Literacy Council
can add to its Teen/Adult Literacy Center. Placing the library on its own T -1 has been planned for sometime
between 2001 -2002. This grant would help expedite that process.
Participating organizations:
Senior Net or some other volunteer organization will offer training to the aged as well. Senior Net has already
approached us as a potential partner in this project.
We have the Literacy Council of Williamson County that may also use the space for group training, though this
has not been formally introduced to them. However, the Council has a room for future use and wired for ten
computers, and currently uses several rooms for training and testing. The Round Rock Rotary Club is seeking a
matching grant for the Literacy Council room in conjunction with the Monterrey (Mexico) Rotary Club. However,
the Round Rock Club does have the funds to equip the Council's room at this point.

The staff attended the Training Strands when we were awarded the first TIF grant. There are no plans to attend the
training as we understand none will be required since we've been through the training. Regardless, we did not
seek funding in the previous cycle as training is in Austin and we covered the very miscellaneous expenses.

SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - January 13, 2000
ITEM:
10.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a grant
application to the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund. The
Library is submitting a grant to the State Telecommunications
Infrastructure Fund for a computer- training lab. The City would
provide a 10% match if the grant is awarded. Staff Resource Person:
Dale Ricklefs, Library Director.
During the past four years the library staff has been training the public on Internet use. The one -day
class is offered two times per month, once in the evening and once during the day, with 8 -14
individuals attending. The average attendee is over the age of 50, and tends to be female. The
participant tends to be comfortable with the machinery and will usually continue to come to the
library to use the computers funded by an earlier Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund grant.
We also offer two computers for word processing and graphics use.
A population, which is not comfortable with what we offer, is the person who has no computer
skills. This tends to be the aging population, the stay at home parent, and those who do not work in
an office environment. While some have expressed interest in attending the one -day Internet class,
they often state that they don't even know what a mouse is.
The library is proposing to the state the creation of a computer learning lab. It will include 9
"seats ", with a l0`' unit used by the instructor. The room will be outfitted with a projection system
as well so the instructor and project the results of actions which the attendees can repeat. Instruction
will be provided in Internet use, exploring effective Internet sites, and the use of Microsoft Office
products.
A representative of Senior Net has also approached the library about offering courses primarily to
senior citizens that own their own computers at home. This service may have a materials charge.
While the specifics have not been worked out, the library's goal is to have the service be as cost
effective as possible while still reaching the greatest number of clients. Senior Net has already
developed the training curriculum. The library will consider this curriculum in instructing
customers who are not senior citizens.
The room, which was intended to serve as the volunteer center, will be used. The set up will be
permanent and may also be used for city staff training when public training is not taking place.
Also, a T -1 line connection will be added. The library has been going through the city's T -1.
However, with over 40 computers running through the T -1, most with heavy intemet use, plus the
addition of 10 more computers through this grant which also involve increased intemet use, a
second T -1 line should reduce some of the slower speeds currently experienced on the city's T -1
line. House Bill 2128 rates will apply, and the first year payments will be covered by the grant. The
continuing direct cost after the grant is $3366 for T -1 line service.
The grant request is $50,000.
