Wireless use in libraries
Abstract
A look at computing literature in general and library literature in particular over the last few years reveals steadily increasing interest and investment by libraries in the use of wireless Ethernet technology (802.11). This article attempts to shed light on the motivations underlying the use of this technology in a variety of libraries across the country as well as the role of the library in deploying wireless within the local community. Further, it looks at potentials and considerations for the evolving 802.11a and 802.11g standards. It does not address other applications of wireless protocols such as those for use with cellular phones.
