	We are currently looking into implementing a local area network
   for our campus library.  As part of this network, we would like to
   provide CD-Rom servers for local PC's and VT terminals in library, and 
   remote access from other departments on campus via our campus network 
   (ethernet backbone or dial-in).   The CD-Rom servers should support
   initially 20 concurrent users and have room for growth in the future.
   As far as CD-Rom units, we would like to have at least 14 CD-Rom units
   on-line at any one time.

   We also have a smaller library which would require access to the main 
   library's Lan for file and print services.  As far as Network protocols, 
   we are required to use TCP/IP across the campus net, but can use any 
   protocol for the main library's local area net.

   Has anyone implemented this type of network?  And if so could you offer
   any pointers as to which systems work well in this environment and what
   to look out for.  It seems that vendors these days will tell you anything
   to make a sale.  Thanks in advance,
