FB94 SYSTEMS & NETWORK SERVICES TRANSACTION STATISTICS, 1987-1994 Boston College Fact Book, 1993-1994 Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: Aug 31 1994 Updated: Apr 7 1995 ================================================================ Note: This is an update of the Computer Center Statistics which appeared in the printed 1993-94 Fact Book. The department changed names and reorganized after the press date of the 1993-94 Fact Book. Only the name of the department was changed in this update. NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown BELOW the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program is desired. For instructions on how to do this see the file "FB94 Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book.
