We are currently considering having one of our branch libraries Wi-Fi enabled but as you can imagine a lot of research needs to be done before a decision is made.
Therefore, as part of my investigation I would like to hear from authorities who are already providing this service or who are planning to.
Any comments would be gratefully accepted including:
Name of supplier
Are there any technical issues regarding connecting to your existing network?
Do you filter content?
Do you limit downloads?
How do users log in?
Is the account connected to your LMS?
Do you charge for use?
Do you limit access time?
What anti-virus protection do you have in place?
Thanks in advance.
