Do you work with or are in an organization that provides public wireless for free to patrons? If so, do you find people that normally don't use your business, do in fact have access to your wireless internet? Are you noticing that in the beginning your wireless was faster, but now that so many people use it, that it is slowing down the rest of your network? Are you seeing patrons going to sites that are possibly not a part of your policy standards? If you have said yes to any of these questions, let me tell you about a product that can help.

I came across this site today and I just couldn't keep it to myself. Now this is not necessarily geared for libraries, but you might find this useful. It's called the HP Learning Center. It is a site that allows you to learn about business and technology related topics in todays world that may help you within your library. These are free classes offered online and 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

I recently presented a workshop where the topic of discussion was about dealing with patron laptops within libraries. The main point I conveyed was that a library NEEDS to have a Wireless usage policy. PERIOD!!! I asked if they had a policy concerning wireless. I was surprised that a large number did not. Tsk Tsk.

Most, if not all of the AALS libraries have PC management software on the public patron pc's. So spyware, adware, malware, and viruses for the most part, are not really an issue on those machines. But what if your staff pc's are becoming more and more debilitated because of mass amounts of pop ups or browser redirects? Or your pc is slowed to a snails pace? And because of it, getting work done becomes very frustrating. Any of this sound familiar? Well Spyware, malware, adware (I will call them nuisances in this blog) has been around for quite a while. And they are becoming even more sophisticated than in the past.
