In our library we have wi fi for staff - a user name & password from IT Dept is required; patient & visitor wi fi - self register; cabled broadband including 3 PCs and lots of wall sockets and cables for people to connect up their own laptops. The advantage of this is that they can print using this network. We also have PCs on the trust network. All of this is provided by our IT Dept from their budget. We managed to get this because our IT Dept decided to roll out wi fi for staff across the site; then they decided to roll out wi fi for visitors and we are just within range; the cabled Broadband was bought by them for use by some students on placement or visiting for a short time who do not have access to the trust network.

I would suggest that this requires some sort of access to the internet, including wifi. Do you have wifi in your library? I know some libraries have been forced to provide their own, but has anyone succeeded in having their information technology departments be helpful in providing this service? Here we have intermittent access and only by Trust devices. Do any libraries out there have (guest or otherwise) access for their users? And how have you managed it!
