New York, New York–September 28, 2006 Today GoalQuest Inc. and Harding University announced that applications for undergraduate admission at the institution increased sharply following the introduction of GoalQuest eCRUIT™, a Web-based recruiting and real-time prospect intelligence tool.

Enrollment management administrators at Harding saw the greatest increase when comparing the first 11 weeks of their GoalQuest usage with the same period in 2005, before Harding had deployed the eCRUIT program.

“It was obvious to our admissions office right from the start that GoalQuest was having a positive impact on the number of applications we received,” said Glenn Dillard, assistant vice president for enrollment management at Harding. “During the first 11 weeks of the eCRUIT campaign, more students applied for admission than in those very same weeks one year earlier.”

As part of its eCRUIT program, Harding has implemented and continues to add a range of standard, customizable services and features, including:

*Expert-written editorial topics, such as creating a list of college consideration criteria, seeking out an education that incorporates faith, navigating the application process and asking relevant questions when visiting college campuses. In addition to helpful hints and tips to guide them through the consideration and application process, the program also immerses students in key aspects of Harding University — from academics to campus life to getting involved in extracurricular activities.

*Award-winning Web design, customized according to Harding’s distinct communication standards and desired look and feel.

*UBlog™–Using GoalQuest’s proprietary blogging tool, Harding assigned six of its current undergraduates to act as “virtual ambassadors” and connect with prospective students. The bloggers update their live journals with information on everything from preparing for exams to choosing among available student activities to getting ready for summer break. UBlog lets each prospect add comments or pose questions to any blog entry.

*Student Service Center–Harding utilizes GoalQuest’s Student Service Center through a feature known to prospects as “Ask Harding.” Ask Harding encourages students to ask questions and provide feedback on a variety of topics (e.g., admissions in general, financial aid and residence life). Questions are then time-stamped and sent to pre-determined campus administrators. Students themselves are promised a speedy response from the school personnel best equipped to help them, while administrators can analyze question and answer flow to determine the types of questions students send most frequently as well as the average response times of the various university departments.

*Real-time user trajectory data, which enables colleges and universities to identify prospective students whose activity may recommend itself to a more personalized follow-up by the admissions staff. The GoalQuest Reporting Center analyzes a range of key metrics to help institutions better allocate their enrollment management resources, including students’ responses to embedded survey questions–developed by GoalQuest editorial and research teams.

According to Peter Kraft, GoalQuest chief executive officer and co-founder, “We are delighted at the substantive results that eCRUIT has yielded in its debut year at Harding. We expect even greater results from eCRUIT’s combination of outstanding content and powerful real-time intelligence indicators as we begin planning for year two.”

Colorado libraries have developed a new strategic plan to cover the years 2006–2010 called Moving Libraries Forward: A Roadmap for Colorado Library Cooperation. This document is meant to serve as a guide for how libraries, working together, can improve library services to the residents of Colorado, while acknowledging the continuing, difficult tasks of doing more with less. This plan will assist libraries of all types in strengthening their relationships with their communities and with each other.

The plan was created by a task force appointed by the Colorado Library Advisory Board, representing all segments of the library community. The task force surveyed library leaders, public library trustees, school library district administrators, and academic officers to identify the key issues and concerns that need to be addressed.

The final plan lists six major goals for activities:

GOAL 1: ACCESS TO INFORMATION

GOAL 2: DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROFESSION

GOAL 3: STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND LIFELONG LEARNING

GOAL 4: SERVICE TO DIVERSE AND UNDERSERVED COLORADO RESIDENTS

GOAL 5: ADVOCACY /FINANCIAL SUPPORT

GOAL 6: RESOURCE SHARING INFRASTRUCTURE

Values common to all types of libraries across the state were the foundation of the goals. These values include:

*Literacy and education for all

*Equity of services, resources, and access

*Freedom of Information

*Best Practices

*Cooperation and Collaboration

San Francisco, Sept. 28, 2006 — Gateway today announced three new Intel® Xeon®-powered servers, which will be built at the new U.S.-based Gateway Configuration Center (GCC). Gateway’s configure-to-order facility gives the company leading manufacturing and distribution capabilities, so it can better meet the needs of its professional customers. The server line-up includes a dual-socket 1U server, 2U rack-mount server and a high-performance tower. The new servers are being demonstrated and shown today at the Intel Developer Forum, booth #520 in the Digital Enterprise Zone, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The servers include a host of new features and technologies: a new industrial design, enhanced serviceability features, integrated RAID and Gateway Lights Out (GLO) system management with optional K/V/M (keyboard, video, mouse). In addition, customers can incorporate both SAS and SATA II hard drives in the same system, mixing high-performance and value drives for maximum flexibility.

The new servers are designed to support general purpose infrastructure computing applications. They are ideal as Web servers, for handling office and department databases, line of business applications and infrastructure virtualization. Perfect for small- and medium-sized businesses, they work well as file and print servers, or for running critical office functions and the entire back-office.

“Our re-designed server line delivers an incredible overall package to professional customers–innovative, feature-rich products that are highly serviceable,” said Jim Burdick, Gateway senior vice president, professional. “Built in the U.S. and with telephone support provided by North American-based agents, Gateway is well positioned to deliver stellar product and support quality.”

“Intel’s new dual-core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 series is designed for the high-volume server market segment. These processors are based on the revolutionary new Intel® Core(TM) Microarchitecture, which offers undeniable leadership in server performance, energy efficiency and value,” said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation.

Enhanced Serviceability and New Design Streamlines Deployment and Support New serviceability features make it easier than ever to support and deploy Gateway servers. All models include tool-less chassis’, tool-less motherboards and color-coded components. In addition, all models share components including RAID daughter cards, drive carriers and system management.

Boasting an exclusive design with sleek silver and black trim and blue LED platform status indicators, IT managers and CIOs will be proud to showcase Gateway servers within their data centers. The new front bezel optimizes airflow and improves cooling, helping extend component lifecycle and enhancing reliability. The design displays power and performance, while delivering the best user accessibility and serviceability Gateway has ever offered in their server line.

Leading Integrated Server Management and K/V/M Technology Brings a High Level of Efficiency to IT Departments New to the entire line of servers is a common integrated Gateway Lights Out (GLO) system management feature. With GLO, customers can remotely shut down and re-start their server regardless of its power condition. Through a Web-browser, IT managers can reboot a server in seconds. With a Web-based dashboard view that is easy to navigate, IT managers can easily control the new servers from a remote location.

An optional low-cost remote control K/V/M with media redirect features enables IT managers to take full remote control of a server. With media redirect, they can remotely set up, manage or add applications to a remote server from their desktop, notebook or another server.

In the fourth quarter, Gateway will offer an optional System Management Integrated LCD (SMIL), a powerful add-on that hot plugs to the front of the server, providing health and operating status on a full-color, easy-to-read LCD panel.

Top-of-the-Line Technologies Include SAS and SATA II Hard Drives, Integrated RAID and Redundant Hot Swap Fans and Power Supplies All of Gateway’s new servers can be configured with both SAS and SATA II drives, giving customers the flexibility to choose the technology best suited to their needs. Customers can use both types of drives in one system, allowing them to install operating systems and other mission critical applications on mirrored, highly reliable SAS drives, while storing file data on SATA II drives for the best value.

Integrated RAID options, featured on all new models, offers a cost-effective solution while saving a valuable expansion slot. Support for RAID 5 + Hot Spare and RAID 10 options offer greater redundancy and integrity.

Lastly, all of the new systems deliver high availability with redundant, hot-swap fans and power supply options. Hot swappable fans, new to Gateway 1U servers and not available on many competitive systems, provide exceptional cooling capability as well as greater availability in case of fan failure. The new highly efficient, redundant power supplies require less energy to run and produce less heat output, helping to extend component life.
