Workshop Environment

Computer Equipment Each participant will be provided with a IBM compatible PC with the following minimum specifications:

• 133 Mhz Pentium processor
• 16 Mb ram
• 500 Mb hard disk
• SVGA monitor
• Mouse

There will be one laserjet black and white only printer and one inkjet black and white or color printer for workshop use.

We will have intermittant use of an LCD panel/LCD projector. Unfortunately, we cannot have continuous use. We have available only three projection units, one LCD panel and two LCD projectors, for the four Summer Seminar workshops. The LCD panel and one of the LCD projectors belong to the Program on Population. The second LCD projector belongs to the Population Reference Bureau and is for the exclusive use of Workshop 3. These units are still very expensive, and the Summer Seminar is the only time the Program on Population has any use for more than one unit.

We will have occassional use of the PaperPort Vx Scanner, the Hewlett-Packard flatbed scanner, the Zip drive, and the CD-R drive in Room 2031/2034. These units are not heavily used, so they should be available to us most of the time, albeit at the inconvenience of having to move to another room.

Operating System and Software Each computer will be loaded with the following:

• Windows 95 (O/S)
• Office 95 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Netscape Navigator 4.x
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01
• ArcView 3.0a with Spatial Analyst 1.1, Network Analyst 1.0a, and 3D Analyst 1.0

Other software will be downloaded from the Internet and installed as the workshop proceeds, including

• Textpad 3.2.2
• Info-ZIP zip and unzip programs
• WS_FP Limited Edition 4.6
• PaintShop Pro 5

Networking Each workshop computer will have an internet connection. Workshop computers will be networked to each other and to the workshop printers.

Workshop Room Burns Hall Room 3121/3125 (3rd floor). As of 1998-05-25 contains

• 15 tables
• 77 chairs

• one old moveable "greenboard"
• one slide cabinet (Kirk Smith) and copy stand

• 5 double RJ45 ethernet (?) outlets
• 2 other outlets (?)

We need at most 20 chairs and can tolerate another 10-20 placed along the back wall. The rest of the chairs should be cleared from the room. We don't need the greenboard and don't want it in the room. Setup of tables will be one front center for presenter, three one either side and two at back in U-shaped configuration, one participant per table, three participants to right, three to left, two at back (approximate; may want to more seats at back for coordinator/resources persons to use when not presenting).
