Library Wiring Investigation Project

Goals:

• To understand as fully as possible the telecom wiring situation in the library:
  • What goes where
  • What is being used, what could be used, and what is obsolete
  • Where each "pipe" goes and other logistics of the building
• To remove, where possible, any wiring that is totally obsolete
• To determine what additional wiring can/should be added
• To determine how the "land-line" extensions are working (fax machine, credit card), and to see how that relates to what Qwest is billing us for. QwestInfo
  • To get the TTY working consistently again in a practical location
• To extend wireless networks (staff and public) to encompass whole building with consistent high-quality connection.
  • Patron network to back of nonfiction stacks
  • Meeting rooms

Specific questions for Rodney:

-How are the "land lines" (fax, credit card) set up? Can we set up another for the TTY to be by itself? Can we move the fax to a more opportune location? Is there a way we can set this up with more flexibility (i.e. able to move these items around more freely, not having to run everything to the basement..)
