InfoStation Implementation Plan 
1998/1999

1. The confirmed amount of funding for 1998/99 is $46,000 (rounded from $45,938).
2. There is a strong likelihood that the UCSD Libraries will receive an additional allotment of $60,000 from Information Technology funds for next year.
3. For planning purposes, the amount for each InfoStation is budgeted at $2,100.
4. Allowance in planning must be made for expected infrastructure costs such as additional server resources or hub installations. The actual amount needed will not be known until Systems staff have evaluated the sites.
5. For manageable workloads and minimal disruptions to library services, InfoStation installations will be done in three phases over the 1998/99 academic year.
