The UMKC University Libraries now offers wireless connectivity for UMKC students, faculty, and staff!
In the Miller Nichols Library, the strongest connections will be found in the Information Commons on the first floor, the Music/Media area on the ground floor, and the lounge areas on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors ( the areas directly south of the entrance to the stairwells and the elevator hallway). Wireless connectivity may be available in other areas of the library, but can be weaker and less dependable.
In the Health Sciences Library the strongest connections are found in the computer area, the Reference area, and the New Journals areas. Again, wireless connectivity may be available in other areas of the library, but can be weaker and less dependable, especially in the study carrels.
Only UMKC students, faculty, and staff may use the wireless network and it is necessary to have activated a UMKC single sign on account. UMKC Information Services offers instructions for connecting to the wireless network and these are found at: www.umkc.edu/networking/wireless/authentication.htm. This is a welcome addition to library services and we hope library users will find it helpful.
(June 2004)From the generous endowment of Wayne and Mary Perry, students now have access to almost 30 online books. These include the classics of medicine such as Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, Goroll’s Primary Care, AHFS Drug Information, Diseases and Disorders: A Nursing Therapeutics Manual, and many more. The online edition of these standard medical and nursing texts will enable students to answer those tricky clinical questions much faster, without having to come to the library.

Students have Internet access for their laptops in the library now. With the addition of four connections on the east wall of the Health Sciences Library, students are now able to use their personal laptop computers for research in the library. All it takes is a network card and your own computer. Be sure to come in and try this added service.
