What's in a Name?

Within the past year, the BHCC Library has experienced a number of changes from its website, new library anchor and slogan to how it provides services in the ever changing world of technology. The most noticeable change is probably the library's name. The BHCC Library changed its name from Library and Information Center to Library and Learning Commons. What is the reason for the name change? Why Learning Commons instead of Information Center?

Wireless Access in the Library!!!!

Hello,

As most of you know, there is now a wireless network in the Library. There are signs posted which indicate the areas where wireless is available.

In order to use the network, the patron's computer must by Wi-Fi ready. Patrons can not print or use other accessories.

The patron's PC should automatically recognize the wireless network. If not, follow the following path to set up the network.
My Computer, My Network Places, View Network Connections.

When the patron opens an internet browser, they will be prompted to log-in as a guest. Logging in requires the patron to enter their e-mail address and agree to the conditions of the network.

If someone is having problems logging in, trouble shoot as you would any other computer problem. If you are not able to resolve the problem send Enzo a note so that he may enter a work order.

I hope this answers any questions and concerns. If not, let me know.
