LIBRARY NARRATIVE
In lass than a pages, describe your proposed project Provide Information about the type of connection you Intend to offer, and the type
Of service and assistance you will offer library patron If you are applying for Program B, describe why your organization Is able to
9... art dedicated Internet access.
The Denton Public Library is committed to increasing access to information to the
citizens of Denton and to area Denton County residents through the use of technology.
Students and area residents currently have limited access to information resources
available through the public library system and the Internet due to the lack of adequate
computers and the inability to access the library's online catalog through the world wide
web.
The Denton Public Library has defined three goals to overcome these barriers to
information access: 1) Provide web access to all public access computers; 2) Improve speed
and reliability when accessing the Internet from the public library system, and 3) Provide
public library customers access to the extensive resources of the libraries at Texas Woman's
University (TWU), University of North Texas (UNT), and North Central Texas College
(NCTC).
The Denton Public Library System has had the Dynix onlme integrated library
automated system, Version 161, running on an IBM RS-6000, in place since early 1995.
The library system has only nine (9) public access stations and six printers dedicated to
Internet access. Denton Public Library is able to support this dedicated Internet access via
the TWU "gateway". Through the generosity of Texas Woman's University, Denton Public
Library has a written agreement with TWU to continue to use their T1 line through our
fiber optic connection to provide enhanced Internet service to public library users
TIFB FormtUbrary Narrative (1/98)
The proposed project will provide enhanced graphical web browsing and global
network access to the public library online catalog. The current online public access
computers (OPACs) will be upgraded to permit the use of graphical user interface (gui)
rather than text -based programs.
The proposed project would enable the library to offer services such as the WWW,
text and graphical email, Web access to bibliographic information via Z39.50 and local
Domain Name Server (DNS) services. The library would also be able to enhance the
features of its web page in-house to feature community information and resources
The proposed project would enable the library to offer online resources and
databases provided by UNT, TWU, and NCTC. These resources will be available through
Internet access at any time that is convenient to users, and for the first time, the public
library customer will have access to university and college reference materials at their
public library.
These resources include:
A College and Universities online catalogs. Improving the public library web access
will give public library customers the ability to search the two million plus
combined volume collections of these entities and determine if items are checked
out or on the shelf before physically visiting that academic library.
A Government documents. UNT maintains a Government Publications Office
(GPO) gateway. It is the only one in the state. Public library customers would
have access to a vast amount of electronic government information available
online.
2
➢ Quick Reference tools. Public library customers would find links to a number of
electronic almanacs, maps, atlases, and biographical resources.
➢ Statistical information. Statistical resources would be listed by subject and
include short abstracts providing vital information for public library customers.
➢ Exhibits and special projects. These include graphics of materials from both
UNT and TWU Rare Books and Texana collections as well as their Archives.
FORM 11: SYSTEM, INFRASTRUCTURE AND NETWORK
Establish guidelines for technical Installation determine what hardware and software is needed and how the system can accommodate growth
(salability) Briefly describe project network with regard to placement and Intended use of resources show how the network Integrates with
the applicant organization s long range technology plan Explain how software and hardware acquired as part of the proposed project will be
upgraded, repaired, maintained and supported In the future
To meet the goals of this project, the purchase of a new integrated library software
and hardware package and computers that meet the minimum standards specified by the
TIF Board is required. The City of Denton is committed to ensuring that any new
investment in technology meets current guidelines and addresses the long-range technology
plans of the City and its public library system.
The current library online public access computers cannot meet the need for
Internet access, as library customers can only access a very limited number of resources
only through dialup capability or in-house usage. To provide full Internet access to the
Denton Public Library online catalog for users at the library, and over the Internet, the
NetConnect integrated software package will be purchased. NetConnect will work with
our existing library automation system to offer enhanced services such as the WWW, text
and graphical email, Web access to bibliographic information via Z39.50, and local domain
name services.
The NetConnect and Z39.50 software can be run on several hardware platforms
Including the Sun Microsystems Ultra 10 system server. Sun is the recommended platform
for the library because Sun hardware will support the current Internet connection and web
presence at the library. In addition, the Sun Ultra 10 server is designed for up to 200
concurrent users and allows easy upgrade to additional capacity and capability.
The proposed hardware and software will be integrated into the library's existing
fiber optic backbone system and installed in accordance with standard industry practice.
TIFB Form/System, infrastructure & Network (1/98)
The Sun server will be installed in the City's Information Services Department with
connection to the network via the existing high-speed backbone switch.
In the main library, 20 OPAC computers will be replaced and installed with
Internet access. Existing fiber optic connection will be used to connect the workstations via
the Internet. Seven (7) printers will be replaced and installed. Seven (7) OPAC computers
will be replaced and installed at the Branch library with three (3) printers replaced and
installed.
All proposed hardware will be integrated into the existing City infrastructure and
will support increased usage as outlined in the library's technology plan The NetConnect
software and hardware will include a first year on -site maintenance agreement. All system
hardware will be added to existing maintenance agreements covering critical system
components through the library's existing budget for Dynix maintenance, which is
increased S% each year. The personal computers and printers will be included in a three
year maintenance agreement under the grant and then added to the City's Technology
Plan to ensure financial support for future equipment maintenance agreements, upgrades,
and repairs.

Implementing the project
The Denton City Council and management team are dedicated to successfully
implementing a five year plan that focuses resources and obtains funding commitment for
the development of an integrated computer environment for the City. As a result of this
effort, most library staff members are equipped with state-of-the-art computers at their
workstations. Under this plan, new personal computers will be leased every three years.
As the existing library online public access computers (OPACs) were purchased in
1995 with certificate of obligation bonds, as well as the automated library automation
system, OPAC's will not be eligible to fall under the City's technology plan for replacement
until 2005. This grant will therefore enable the library to buy new state-of-the-art
computers in 1999, and be in the queue to receive new OPACs when the next line of new
computers are again leased by the City By utilizing our current automated system we still
can provide enhanced Internet access without migrating to a totally new integrated library
automation system and the inherent costs that would incur.
In the unlikely event that the City of Denton should choose not to purchase future
OPACs, our Emily Fowler Library Foundation Fund will be instrumental in providing
needed financial support for the library's technology needs. This endowed fund creates a
permanent source of revenue for the library and can be used for discretionary
expenditures.
In purchasing technology equipment for this project, a centralized bidding process
will be used to ensure that equipment is purchased in the most cost-effective manner and
TIFB FomVaustalnablllty-Funding (1/98)

with long-term goals in mind. All technology purchases will be coordinated with the
Information Services Department to guarantee that all hardware and software interface
with current equipment and network specifications. This eliminates the purchase of
technology components that are not compatible with the City's system.
The system administrator personnel will receive training on the maintenance and
use of equipment from the manufacturer. Each system administrator staff member will be
responsible for training the Reference staff at each library. Reference staff will provide
training for the public. This "train -the -trainer" concept will lower the costs of training and
increase it's impact on the project.

FORM 18• BUDGET PLAN
(one page)
Describe how the applicant organization will maintain financial records for the grant Briefly discuss features of the proposal which
enhance cosloffeetivermse of the project such as matching funds and In -kind contributions, how the proposal builds upon existing
resource base and how funds from other sources will be used In conjunction with grant funds Indicate how participating organizations
will share resources (e g, training, multimedia resources, personnel)
The Denton Public Library will comply with the TIF Board grant guidelines for
successful management of all funds. The project director will accept responsibility for the
acceptance and administration of the grant that will include managing the programmatic,
financiall, and reporting aspects of the project. By having the City of Denton's fiscal
management staff set up a grant account, all financial aspects of the project can be
monitored by utilizing the City of Denton's Local Government Financial System (LGFS)
accounting software package. Grant activity can be electronically accessed and monitored
on a daily basis. Monthly financial statements and reports can also be produced for
monitoring grant expenditures.
Record retention of all transactions for the grant project will be accurately
maintained throughout the grant period. All project records will be retained for three
years from the ending date of the grant period.
Relying on current financial and human resources allows the Denton Public Library
to design a cost-effective project. The library system is committed to providing $3,600
annually for the Internet connection, dedication of personnel time, and all library staff
travel costs related to the TIF grant for training. Also, utilizing current staff to provide in-
house training provides a low-cost method to effectively train staff and the public on

JUSTIFICATION ATTACHMENT
The core software for the NetConnect system at a cost of $10,000 includes the Dynix
public access text version, the Dynix public access for Windows, the Dynix WebPAC and
one DialPAC account. Security software includes (two sites @ $100.00 each) Fortres 101,
from Fortres Grand Corporation, is a security agent which resides invisibly between the
user and the computer. Fortres 101 provides total security for the Windows workstation so
that icons cannot be moved or renamed, files cannot be modified or deleted, system
configurations may not be changed and only specified software titles may be run. Win►ock
95 security software (two sites @ $139.00 each) provides coverage for components not
covered by Fortres 101.
The 25 File Lok II's will prevent unauthorized copying of data from the library
network or hard drive by restricting access to the floppy disk drive. The locks cost $20.95
each for a total cost of $ 524.00.
It will be necessary to add costs for supplies. With the additional computers and
printers, our supply budget will be greatly impacted. Based on the current usage by the
Main branch of $3,880.80 per year on printer cartridges, the increase in the number of
printers and the anticipated increase of usage by patrons, we calculate our printer
cartridge usage will increase to $6,036.80 per year.
Paper supplies for the current printers we have at the Main branch now run
$252.00 per year. Using the same criteria as for the printers, the paper costs is calculated
to be $1,411.20 per year.
