If we can't provide the level the users want, we aren't doing a very good job.<br /><br />I'm glad you could increase bandwidth at your library. I was able to increase it at my last library, after a bit of struggle with E-rate that I blogged about here. At my current library, it is much more difficult without having $2mill in the bank. <br /><br />It may be Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the rescue for all of us. :)jdscott50https://www.blogger.com/profile/04229906352079565341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31106814.post-15131869270032421502010-02-20T17:42:14.007-08:002010-02-20T17:42:14.007-08:00I agree - what an in depth and thorough article. O...I agree - what an in depth and thorough article. One I keep coming back to read. The first day I read it was the day we ran out of bandwidth . . . again. The good news is that the idea of policing bandwidth had finally been ruled out at our library. We added yet another (fourth) T1 line for the short term, but at least at this point everyone understands that T1 lines will not fill the bill forever. But the next step is a doozy, and I'm not sure if we will be one of the libraries to make the leap. Scary indeed.Frontline Librarianhttp://frontlinelibrarian.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
