Student Equity, Excellence, and Diversity

Digitizing Hawaiian Language Newspapers to Promote
Wider Use via the World Wide Web

Description of Project

The 1999 grant funded purchase of basic up-to-date computer systems for use in libraries and education centers where there are high concentrations of students, scholars and researchers of Hawaiian language and culture.

Maui received funds to buy 4 computers (1 for MCC, 1 each for Hana, Molokai and Lanai Educational centers) and Kauai received funds to buy 1 computer. In late January/early February, the UH Budget Office added the grant funds as a separate line items to Maui's and Kauai's general fund operating budget. Copies of the award memo were transmitted from the Fiscal Office at UHM Hamilton Library to Lillian Mangum and Ann McKenna, with instructions to contact their respective campus fiscal officer for confirmation when the funds were received to setup a special account number.

Each site purchased:

Intel Celeron 333 Pentium_II with 3-year parts & labor warranty coverage and a 17inch SVGA Multiscanning Color Display. Each site made a commitment to provide network connectivity, and (where possible) printers, for these computers.
