�I <br /> J <br /> Sample Buffering and Mailing Label Generation <br /> Public Access Kiosk Application <br /> Several Departments indicated a need to provide a more user friendly and immediate way for the <br /> public to inquire about voting precincts, flood zones , as well as other County data . At present, <br /> many citizens must physically go to county offices in order to obtain this information . Often citizens <br /> have to wait for an available staff person to provide assistance . A public access kiosk would allow <br /> them to look up this information immediately in a user friendly manner. <br /> The Internet has become a powerful means for disseminating geographic information to the public . <br /> However, a need for public physical access to geographic information at an organization ' s <br /> buildings is even more essential . A touch screen kiosk is the answer that many have been waiting <br /> for because it will allow users to find information for themselves, thus relieving the workload of Indian <br /> River County staff members . <br /> To be effective, a public access application must be easy to use . For many users , this means an <br /> application that does not require use of a mouse or keyboard . Touch screen monitors have <br /> enabled applications that do not require a mouse and keyboard to become a reality . Buttons and <br /> slider bars must be large so that they are easily selected by touching the screen . A touch screen <br /> kiosk application should be implemented at various locations around the county. Please refer to <br /> the Department Needs Assessments at the beginning of this chapter for a listing of all departments <br /> that indicated a need for a public kiosk . <br /> 289 <br /> GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter 1 - Departmental GIS Needs Assessments <br />
