			Smart Libraries
	Richard T. Sweeney's Keynote Multimedia Presentation
	Colorado Library Association, Nov 5 1994, Keystone CO

Richard Sweeney of Polytechnic University gave an inspiring Keynote
Address on Smart Libaries at the November Colorado Library Association
meeting.  You won't be able to hear him talk, but he has kindly made
the substance of his presentation available for librarians everywhere.

The file SMART.EXE is a self-unzipping archive which contains all the
software necessary to run the presentation that Richard Sweeney gave.
The presentation was created with IBM's Storyboard Live, Story Teller
software.  It requires:

	DOS 3.0 or higher
	a VGA color monitor
	640K of memory
	4 Megabytes of free disk space

It runs best on a 286 or 386 PC.

To acquire SMART.EXE, access this URL via the World Wide Web:
	http://bcn.boulder.co.us/library/co/smart.exe
The Boulder Community Network can also be accessed via telnet:
	telnet bcn.boulder.co.us

This README.txt file is also included in SMART.EXE.


To use the disks:
  1. Create a subdirectory on your hard disk drive called C:\SMART
    C:\ mkdir \SMART		(you can use any name you like)

  2. Run the SMART.EXE program to unpack all the files
    C:\ CD \SMART
    C:\SMART\ A:\SMART.EXE      (provide a full pathname to where SMART.EXE is)

  3. To run the program from the subdirectory C:\SMART, type the command ST
    C:\SMART\ ST

  4. At the main StoryTeller screen:
    Press the [ENTER] key

  5. At the prompt STORY-NAME:
    Type:  RAFT [ENTER]

  6. On any of the Title screens:
    Type: f
    The program will continue to run and will take about 30 minutes
    depending on the speed of your computer.

  7. To stop the presentation, press the [Esc] key and respond "N" in response
    to the prompt.

Hope you enjoy the presentation.
