In this offering from the International Society for Technology in Education, chapters describe, in layman terms, the technical details of how networks operate and offer advice on how they can be effectively managed. The broad categories of computers on a network, fundamental communication standards, and devices that interconnect them or protect them from unwanted intrusion are all explained. Subsequent sections discuss various operating systems and wide-area networks. The appendixes include best practices for managing network operations, tips on long-term planning and management, acquisition issues, and national educational technology standards. Tech-savvy librarians who are tasked with network responsibilities, and those who just want to know more about this technology, will definitely want to purchase this resource.
