Systems OfficeItem University of Hawaii Statewide Data Communications Network(1988) University of Hawaii Computing CenterItem Private Automatic Computer Exchange (PACX)(1986-05) University of Hawaii Computing Center; Yee, WalterIn 1972, the Computing Center studied the development and implementation of a Gandalf data switch which was used to improve terminal access to several HP2000 systems on the University of Iowa campus. As timesharing resource utilization grew in the University of Hawaii, a need for a data switch to maximize utilization of ports also emerged. In 1978, the Computing Center acquired a PACX I (128 X 128). Since 1978, the growth of use of computers and numbers of computer systems universitywide required upgrades to a DUAL PACX II (256 X 256) and then to the currently existing QUAD PACX IV (1024 X 512). The system will be upgraded to a PACX 1000 (1024 X 1024) in mid June, 1986. PACX IV systems are also located at MSO, and at Leeward, Maui, and Kauai Community Colleges. A PACX 2000 is located at the EWC. A PACX 2000 is planned for installation at the Diamond Head Campus of Kapiolani Community College during the Fall Semester, 1986. A PACX 2000 is also planned for installation at the HILO College and at Hamilton Library during the next 12 - 24 months. All currently installed PACXs are either connected or will be connected to each other this calendar year to complete formation of a PACXNET with automatic routing of calls.Item Fiber Optic Data Communications Cable for UHM(1986-06) Angell, Roger G.Item Report to the 1997 Hawai'i State Legislature RE: S.R. No. 132 Requesting the Coordination of Efforts to Make University of Hawai'i Library Collections Available on a Systemwide and Statewide Basis through Modern Distributed Digital Storage Systems and Telecommunications Technologies(1997-02) University of Hawaii at Manoa. LibraryS.R. 132 asks the University of Hawai'i to do this report and this fulfills the obligation. [...] The University's Strategic Plan provides the basis for advancing the use of information technologies and libraries to broaden access to educational opportunities and knowledge resources through local as well as worldwide networks. It articulates the development of the necessary support in a number of areas, including: technical infrastructure, equipment replacement. facilities, curriculum revision and services. The proposed library plan outlined below is developed in relation to the University's plan and priorities. Over the long term, it assumes that households in Hawai'i will have access to telecommunications networks with the capacity and speed to distribute digital information in various formats, that funding will occur for digitization of the Hawai'i Interactive Television System (HITS), and that the University's Internet link to the mainland will be upgraded well beyond its present T2 level.Item Access informational materials(1990) Hawaii.

Legislature. House of RepresentativesItem How Do You Say Computer in Hawaiiaiian?(Wired USA, 1995-08) Hale, ConstanceIf there was one watershed moment for the dying Hawaiian language, it must have come in 1983, when a study showed that only 32 students under 18 (most of them concentrated in remote hamlets of Kaua'i and Ni'ihau) were able to speak Hawaiian. Immediately after the study, a dedicated group of professors and activists - many of them now at the University of Hawai'i in Hilo - gathered in Honolulu to start plotting the great Hawaiian-language comeback. Step One: repeal the century-old law prohibiting the teaching of Hawaiian in public schools. Step Two: establish a system of public schools with Hawaiian-language immersion programs. Once the schools started opening, it came time to hoist the Hawaiian language into the techno age - hook, line, and SLIP connection. That's when NeSmith joined forces with Keiki Kawai'ae'a and Keola Donaghy. In computer networks the three found a new medium that used the oral and the textual as its currency, a medium perhaps better suited to an oral tradition than the book ever was.Item Information Systems: How to Pick a Winner(1983) Grant Thornton (Firm); Allison, GaryItem [Network connection diagrams](1989) University of Hawaii Computing CenterItem Selection Process [in Conference on Integrated Online Library Systems Proceedings](1983-09) Quirk, Ruth MarieSelection of an integrated Online Library System (lOLS) should begin with an informed, supportive, and enthusiastic administration fully committed to the move from a manual to an automated environment. In early 1982 the UHM Biennium Budget (1983-85) ranked automation as a top priority. Decisions to streamline many processing procedures, freeze the Card Catalog system and implement a Computer Output Microform (COM) Catalog followed shortly thereafter. In response to the growing serious committment to library automation and interest in purchasing a turnkey solution I undertook an "educational" tour of automated libraries and integrated online library system (IOLS ) vendors. It was especially helpful to examine academic library installations to see how they are dealing with situations we will encounter in Hawaii. In January 1983, preparation of the entire library staff for participation in the automation process began.Item Hawaii high technology development plan(Honolulu : Dept. of Planning and Economic Development, 1981-09) Hawaii. Department of Planning and Economic Development; MPi Marketing ResearchItem Network Etiquette(1987) Ogasawara, Todd; Horton, Mark; Offutt, Jeff; Von Rospach, Chuq; Scharwz, Jerry; Spafford, Gene; University of Hawaii Computing CenterThe UHCC VAX (uhccux) connects to thousands of other computers throughout the world. These connections let you communicate both through one-on-one electronic mail and the network news system (USENET). This ability to communicate with so many people electronically requires that you adhere to the rules of network etiquette. The documents listed below will guide you in learning the rules of network behavior. I suggest you at least glance at the documents below before posting your first network news article.

Systems OfficeItem University of Hawaii at Manoa Library System Office Automation Requirements Assessment(1986-06) Ogasawara, Todd H.This report is an assessment of Office Automation (OA) needs and a description of the recommended system that meets those needs for the University of Hawaii at Manoa Libraries (UHML). Most of the approximately 160 UHML Full Time Employees (FTE) currently perform all tasks using traditional manual techniques. Most of the tasks performed by UHML staff would be more efficiently done if microcomputer systems were integrated into work routines. Some of the tasks that would benefit from the use of microcomputers are report and memo preparation, correspondence, internal electronic communication, record keeping and analysis of staff status, preparation of signs and posters, budget analysis, serials cancellation analysis, reference desk transactions record keeping and analysis, and procedural decision aid. This report identifies tools to assist UHML staff is performing these functions.Item Proposal for installation and evaluation of microcomputers(1989-07) Quirk, Ruth MarieThe University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) Libraries have been automating both public and technical services for approximately 10 years. End user hardware for automation activities has been limited to (1) dot matrix printers, (2) special use terminals for accessing a specific bibliographic utility (OCLC) and (3) general use dumb terminals for accessing the University of Hawaii Computing Center (UHCC), online literature searching and the in-house automated library system. Microcomputers have not yet been provided for use by the library staff and/ or patrons. This report was developed to expand upon the ideas expressed in "1985-1995 A Strategy for Academic Quality" prepared by the Strategic Plan steering committee for the University of Hawaii. The next ten years will bring rapid growth in communications and information technologies therefore it is crucial that the library staff, which serves the university community be as technologyliterate as possible. Although a large percentage of the library staff currently use terminals or computers, their use is limited to 'special purpose' shared-systems and many are still not computer literate. The introduction of microcomputers for staff use should aid in quickly closing this literacy gap.Item HAWIAN: Hawaii Area-Wide Information Access Network(1990)Provenance and exact date of document unknown.
