Hi all,
Hope this question is not too far off the track for this list.
Our library is in the midst of a renovation, and we are planning to place
most of our computers in new study carrels.  These carrels will be "wet",
i.e. they will have a power column affixed to the carrels which will
provide electric outlets for the computer, monitor, etc.  We would also
like the power column to provide a data connection for our local area
network.

What are libraries out there doing to bring power and data to study
carrels or desks?  Thanks in advance for any info.
