LTS will be changing the settings of workstations so that they no longer sleep. This change is necessary as sleeping machines are inaccessible from the network, preventing the remote installation of updates and other software. It is possible that you may not immediately notice the change as computer screens will continue to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity.
LTS remains committed to operating our computing equipment in as environmentally responsible manner as possible. Over time the power utilized per workstation in the library has decreased substantially. Our power management policies will continue to be adjusted as necessary to ensure that we strike the best balance between energy savings and labor cost.
Sincerely,
Ernest
