"We had been working with HP equipment well before they joined with us," said William Morse, head of the law school's Information Technology Services department, a division of the law library. "We invited them in to see what we had done with their equipment. They were impressed and decided to support us right there on the spot. We could not be happier with HP or their outstanding hardware."
Dean Howard Hunter said Hewlett-Packard's sponsorship represents another step toward creation of a "virtual library" at the law school with access to users around the world. A new state-of-the-art facility for the school, the Hugh F. MacMillan Law Library, is under construction and is expected to be completed in late summer.
The law school will use the workstations provided by Hewlett-Packard to develop a high-speed computing cluster that not only will support all of the school's World Wide Web developments, which include the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals cases on-line, an electronic reference desk and the law school's software library, but also will provide all students, faculty and staff with complete Internet connectivity. The workstations will run the object-oriented NeXTSTEP operating system provided by NeXT Computer Inc.
