Final thought on pagers

I implemented the pager system today at the library. I passed out instruction to 20 fellow coworkers who frequently help out in the lab. DF, our computer tech guru, thinks that the pagers will not be enough. He thinks the library needs to offer more computers for the general public. And I think he's right.
Here's a comparison: The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library now offers about 150 terminals for their public. The Kansas City, KS Public library has a total of 50. Both libraries serve a total population of about 150,000 people. I think KCKPL has some catching up to do in offering computer-related services. We don't even offer wireless; although computer services says we may be getting it in Spring 2006.
