Libraries


Today, libraries are increasingly being redefined as places to get unrestricted access to information in many formats and from many sources. Modern libraries are understood as extending beyond their brick and mortar to include material that is accessed via electronic means, and by providing assistance in navigating and analyzing tremendous amounts of knowledge with a variety of digital tools including subscription databases and the internet.

To support and protect those valuable resources, Connected Technology provides a variety of solutions that meet the needs of today’s libraries and library networks. Services include local and wide area network topologies; internet and telephone systems; and deployment and maintenance of computer systems and peripherals; as well as technical support, internet filtering and storage. Connected Technology also provides document imaging, archival security and document sharing services so library administrators can ensure the security and availability of books, videos and other desired materials to loan to members.
