UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH OFFERS
KIOSK INTERNET ACCESS CAMPUS WIDE



BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Kiosk Information Systems, Inc. has contracted with the University of Pittsburgh to design and manufacture Internet kiosks for use by students, faculty and staff on the university’s campus. The kiosks enable users to access both e-mail and the World Wide Web, offering students an alternative to the hectic campus computing lab, and increasing electronic communication among students, faculty and staff.

To date, the University of Pittsburgh has installed 62 KIOSK kiosks in various common areas throughout the University of Pittsburgh campus, including residence halls, the food court and the library café. An additional 38 kiosks are currently on order and will be placed in locations decided by the university’s student affairs, student activities and facilities management committees.

"The University of Pittsburgh kiosks illustrate KIOSK’ ability to customize a standard product to reflect a high tech, progressive organization at an affordable price," said KIOSK President, Rick Malone. "The kiosks offer e-mail and Internet access, yet contain only a 15 inch monitor, keyboard with trackball, and internal computer. The compact, sleek design makes it possible to install the kiosks in virtually
any location on the U of P campus."
