1. LAN
Not really sure how much there is for me to say here … LANs have proven useful for me since the days of playing Doom co-op (stop laughing), through my nearly daily use of VPN to access library materials. A little more of an abstract thought: learning about the history of these technologies has been interesting, especially when there seems to be a big gap between when the technology is developed and when it becomes more ubiquitous. What else is down the pike for us “normal” users that’s already been used in some tech school or company?
2. Computer Network
Again, a good discussion of the nuts and bolts of networking … Here I’m most interested in the expanse of GANs and how we may be already using them. Any thoughts or suggestions here?
3. Frank Klein tells us about the common types of networks
Thanks, Frank.
4. Coyle, K. (2005). Management of RFID in libraries. Journal of Academic Librarianship, 31(5), 486-489
Coyle raises some good points in her analysis of RFID use. ROI is always the a good starting point when considering a new technology – even in the library with all of its inherent difficulties determining ROI (including the “public good” aspect of the institution). The other detail I enjoyed was the mention of how to adapt the tag system for items such as musical scores or childrens' books. Sometimes details like these are much bigger nuisance than they originally seem to be.

GAN's and how we may already be using them - Do you suppose that a cellphone network, or GPS Navigation could be considered GAN?
Absolutely. I think GAN is comprised of several technologies including these.
It's like a video documentary of my life...especially the wrestling bit. Dig the pic of Paul Newman.
