English abstract

This is a research paper for the course of Networking Technologies at the Master of Library Science, Dept. of Library and Information Studies, State University of New York at Buffalo; Professor of the course Neil Yerkey, December 11, 2000. It focuses on the thin-client networking. It strongly supports the idea that this type of network is going to become the new paradigm in networking because of these benefits of social and economical impacts: a) savings in upgrading software, b) savings in recycling old hardware, c) ubiquity: have communication access through the network at any time and everywhere, d) security, e) vast content of data and information, f) fastest application deployment, among others. Gives two examples of successful applications of thin-client networking in libraries: a) State University of New York at Stony Brook and b) at the The Tulsa City-County Library System in Oklahoma and its 22 branches. And reviews superficially some of the major products and companies dealing with thin-client networking, it includes a directory. Remarkable is the section of Glossary where the reader can go to look up and certainly find every new term.
