Abstract
This chapter discusses the history and development of Georgia Institute of Technology, a unit of the University System of Georgia. In 1984, the president of Georgia Tech indicated that he wanted the institute to have the most technologically advanced library in the nation. Since then almost every faculty member has a terminal or personal computer in the office. Access to personal computers is available to the entire academic community in several public clusters on campus. For several years, the Georgia Tech Foundation partially subsidized the purchase of personal computers by the faculty. The library houses three public clusters. One, with 12 terminals and 6 printers, provides dedicated access to the library's online information system. A second holds approximately 40 IBM PCs and PS/2s, 2 printers, and several terminals. This equipment may be used independently or for access to campus computers. Recently, a third installation of 40 Macintosh computers has been installed. The campus network, GTNET, has been in place since 1979.
