the state would be price-efficient for the uni
versities. At A&M, the cost of running a
database is around $160,000 a year to the
company, plus the cost for the massive stor
age needed to hold the data.
After discussions with the company, A&M
officials discovered it would cost less overall,
to share the database with entire A&M Sys
tem, he said. By sharing the system, A&M
would only need one computer and one set of
disk storage for all the System’s universities
to access.
“If we can share things like that across
the whole state, it would save everyone mon
ey and would make things more .accessible,”
Putnam said.
Goodyear said the contract also involves
establishing Ariel, a document transmission
system which uses Internet.
To use Ariel, a library employee can take
a documented manuscript, read it into the
computer, send it across Internet and the re
quester can then print the manuscript at his
or her library.
For students to use Ariel, they must re
quest a document from the employees work
ing with the library’s inter-library loan sys
tem. Students themselves cannot use Ariel;
they can only use the system through a li
brary employee.
“Here we are making it possible to get
things faster and have easier access across
the state,” Putnam said. “It is important for
growing institutions to have access to the
enormous resources at other libraries.”
Evans Library has already had Ariel es
tablished for over a year now and has been
sending documents to several select uni
versities. In addition, A&M received some
money last year which it used to begin es
tablishing Ariel within the A&M Universi
ty System.
Ariel will probably not be established in
all 52 state universities before next summer,
Goodyear said.
“Some do not yet have the expertise or
technological infrastructure necessary to im
plement this system,” she said.
t Putnam said each individual university is
responsible for establishing Ariel. However,
under the contract, A&M will provide train
ing and assistance to the libraries as they
set up the system.
Under the TEX-SHARPl contract, A&M
and the University of Houston will also work
on establishing a statewide public university
library card, Goodyear said.
“I do not think it will be an actual card,"
Goodyear said. “It will be more of an
agreement to recognize the cards from oth
er libraries.”
Putnam said he is excited about the inno
vations that will come from this contract.
“The most enticing element of this con
tract is that it will make it possible for fac
ulty and students to get information when
they want it, from where they are,” Put
nam said. “We will also be saving money
because we will be sharing resources
throughout the state.”
