As agreed at today’s meeting, we’ll skip meeting in April due to spring break and will instead hold our next meeting on Monday, May 6. We’ll meet in the usual space at the CUNY Graduate Center at 9:30 am.
The topic will be security issues and mobile devices. We agreed that that we’ll each try to come to the meeting with info about how wifi is handled on our own campuses. If anyone wants to lead a discussion about things the library can be doing and things our users can be doing to protect themselves, please feel free to do so.
I’m thinking of doing a quick survey for members of this group to find out what wifi is like at each campus. If anyone can suggest some survey questions to include, that would be great. Here’s what I’m thinking of asking:
Does your library offer wifi?
If your library offers wifi, how many networks (channels?) are offered?
Do guests have to request a logon for wifi or can they log themselves in by submitting an email address (or some other form of verification or identification)?
Is security certificate for your wireless logon up to date?
If anyone can suggest additional questions that are worth asking of the group, that would be great. I don’t know much about wifi from a systems perspective and any help would be appreciated.
