If one likes to check a book,using title ,author etc
This is possible with this device, this means you communiucate with the library even when in bed. Iam having a fear that at the end of the day as the time goes few librarians will be needed to run the library because most of the task will be done by such devices.\”
Very interesting stuff, though I can\’t find anything on \”Wireless Innopac\” on Google or innopacusers.org, wireless in libraries turned up some good results, including LibWireless:Wireless and Libraries group.
So what do you think, is wireless more of a threat to librarians than the Web?
