On the Local Area Network (LAN) wiki--
LAN is a computer network that interconnects computers in limited area, such as ones that are in a home or schools. Because they are in a smaller area they have a faster data transfer rate and do not require leased telecommunication lines. Typically Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two options for building LANs. Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC in 1973-75. Coaxial cable has traditionally been used for cabling to form LANs, but now that Wi Fi has become popular they are not necessary. LANs will forever remind me of my dorky high school friends who used to have 'LAN parties' to play video games against each other.
Computer Networks wiki--
Computer networks are a collection of hardware components and computers interconnected by communications channels that make it so that resources and information can be shared. Communications protocol are utilized for sharing information, such as Ethernet, IPS. These computer networks are what make is possible for us to email, share documents, or connect to a shared server. However, they also help viruses to spread, interfere with other technologies, and be difficult to set up.
Management in RFID in Libraries, Coyle--
RFIDs are like bar codes, but read with an electromagnetic field. RFID stands for radio frequency identifier. They can carry more complex tasks then a bar code. Some familiar usages are in cars for auto tolls, card keys or to track animals. They can be used in a library for security measures as they can keep track of when an item is checked in or out. When a person checks out of the library they can check out a stack of books at once instead of scanning each bar code. RFID tags can save time processing and money since it has all the information on the chip. They make it easier and more cost-effective to inventory and to do so more regularly.
