	Here are the answers to some questions you might have about using wireless in the library:

	Q. How can I use wireless Internet at the Library? A. Most users can simply bring their wireless-enabled laptop computer or other wireless device to the Library and turn it on. The computer will automatically recognize the wireless network. If your laptop does not have wireless built-in, you can install a WiFi-compatible network card. Q. How does it work? A. Wireless access points located throughout the library communicate with your wireless device. You should be able to connect anywhere in the building. When your wireless network card senses a signal, a message appears on your screen indicating a wireless network is available. Q. Will I need any special settings or passwords to connect? A. No. In many instances wireless devices will automatically detect the Library’s wireless network and configure themselves to use the system. Q. Can the library help me configure my computer? A. Sorry, everyone’s computer is different and you are responsible for knowing how to configure your own equipment. Q. Is my information safe while using wireless? A. Your information is not protected while using wireless, unless you are connected to a web page that employs encryption (stores, banks, etc.) Keep this in mind if you are accessing sensitive business or personal information. Q. Can I print while using wireless? A. Sorry, printing is not available. Q. Can I plug in my computer? A. You can plug in your computer anywhere that does not constitute a hazard, for example no wires can be placed across an aisle where someone might trip over them. The library also cannot guarantee to have outlets available at all times.
