Remote Access
Definition:
The ability to access a computer from outside a building in
which it is housed, or outside the library. Remote access
requires communications hardware, software, and actual
physical links, although this can be as simple as common

another computer across the Internet; pertaining to
communication with a computer by a terminal distant from
the computer.
