College, Steenbock, Wendt Libraries go wireless

Posted 8/1/2000

Computer users equipped with wireless modems can now walk into Union South and access the Internet. Four rooms in the union are now capable of connecting your computer to e-mail and the Web without any lines or phone cords, and a number of UW libraries are soon to follow. By the end of August, DoIT will be providing College, Steenbock and Wendt libraries with wireless connections.

Library patrons need only a laptop computer, a wireless network card and a WiscWorld account to connect. College Library will be providing the opportunity to check-out laptops, with wireless cards, so that students who do not own a laptop can still take advantage of the wireless facilities.

Other buildings to be equipped in August include Grainger Hall and Memorial Union. Memorial Library should be equipped by the end of the year.
