[WEB4LIB] Wireless for Dummies?

[GraceAnne A. DeCandido]

Karen, wireless networks are the subject of one of the PLA 
Tech Notes I am contracted to do: I am working on 
electronic statistics this week, and need to finish that one 
first. When do you need this info? I could do this one next.
the Tech Notes are 1200-1500 word web documents, 
published on the PLA site, with many links and bibliograpy. 
The first three are posted at 
http://www.pla.org/
page down until you get to Tech Notes.
hth, at least in theory.
