[Libs-Or] WiFi

[Cheryl Spangler]

Can you tell me your policy on Wi-Fi? My City Administrator  is not supportive of it and I need to convince him we need it. Something besides "All the other libraries have it!"

These are his concerns :

  1.   Which other libraries around us on a regional basis allow WIFI?   (Definitely ask Junction City, Brownsville, Lebanon, Monroe, & Philomath)
  2.  Is the WIFI supplied for the general City facilities, or just the Library?
  3.  What kind of safeguards do they have in place to protect WIFI?
     *   Is there a specific program that they have?  If so, what is it,  and do they remember what it costs?
  4.  Is it password protected?  Is the password changed on a regular basis?  How often?
  5.  Do they have their patrons sign a waiver, or do they have something set up as a policy that a patron would click on that is similar to a waiver?  (Think about when you are in a hotel, and you have to click a box that says yes, I know I'm not protected, and yes, I know other people can see my data, etc., etc.)
  6.  Have they ever had a hacker get past the system?
  7.  Have they had any complaints?
  8.  Do they shut down the WIFI at the end of the business day?

Thanks
