#167 Wireless libraries

I just checked the Wireless Librarian Web Site, which tells which libraries in the U.S. are set up for wireless networks, and see that North Dakota has more sites than Ohio. The only public library in Ohio which has it is in Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland. Come on, Columbus, home of Battelle, Chemical Abstracts, OCLC, and Ohio State University Libraries*. The information mecca of the mid-west, home of the university with the great-grandmother of all automated library systems (LCS, now retired) is lagging behind. Maybe there are more, but they haven't alerted this site.

*The Law Library and Health Sciences Library at Ohio State do have wireless but are not part of OSUL.
