Remote telephone use in reference service

Source

Electronic library. 11(1993) no.2, S.105-107

Year

1993

Abstract

Examines the benefits of reference staff using cordless and cellular telephone systems. Describes the technology, operating ranges, costs and characteristics of each type. Discusses tests conducted at Texas Woman's Univ. in the Blagg-Huey Library. Cordless technology enabled and operating range of 100 feet. Cellular technology required excessive expenditure on relays. The reference staff will continue to use conventional equipment until cellular systems are cheaper or cordless technology improves
