Steen says the massive renovation of Widener will include the installation of about 1,000 roaming-friendly data jacks in the stacks.
But this will probably not be done until Lamont and the Cabot Science Library have been fully wired.
And then there's the spread of roaming capabilities into other public spaces. Davis cites Loker Commons, the Barker Center and Boylston Hall as possibilities for HASCS to consider.
Wiring House dining halls and other libraries is also in the works, Steen says.
"We would like to put jacks in the dining halls," Steen says. "I'm not aware that we've done it yet."
Leverett's Georgi says that although his House's dining hall is known as a popular study spot, he has not heard many students clamoring for data jacks.
"But we still think it's a good idea," Georgi says.
