Wireless Access in Libraries
Real-World Library Implementation
Currently I have a WiFi Hotspot system setup at the Brevard County Library System in Brevard County, Florida. The system has been in operation and allows patrons and guests of the library access to library resources and the Internet (as of the time of this writing) for about 11-1/2 months or since Feb. 15, 2005.
Why have Wireless Patron Access in Libraries???
What do Libraries and WiFi have in common??? Answer – people use both for information! Most libraries today have more than just books and printed reference materials for patron use. Granted, printed materials still comprise a great deal of information contained in today’s libraries but more and more libraries are expanding the resources available to the patrons.
