How do you gather Uses of Wireless Logins per Year for LOM Annual Report?
by aldenlib＠torchlake.com 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hi all, I was told by my tech person that in order to track all wireless logins to our wifi, we'd have to get a separate router to do the job, as our current configuration won't pick that data up; it just shows the hits to the website. Since the Library of Michigan Annual Report has recently been asking for that info (it was in Section H, line 13 this past year), I just estimated it from a clipboard at the front desk, where we note patrons using their own laptops or tablets. But we're missing the users outside the building, phone use and whatnot that we don't notice. (We're a very small, Class I library.) Thanks for your help, -- _Susan Riegler_ Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library
