Hello Librarians! My name is Jessica Curtis and I'm a reference librarian at the Westerville Public Library in Ohio as well as a teacher at the Kent State University School of Information and Library Science. I'm attempting to gather data for an article regarding library education and pedagogy (teaching adult services/reference/academic librarians how to teach) in order to write an article. The link below contains a form with just ten questions. Please take a moment and contribute your thoughts and opinions. There is a short explanation at the beginning of the form: https://goo.gl/forms/VD3PRlbBzRD7St4n1 I appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jessica Curtis INNReach Contact Westerville Public Library 614-882-7277 x2191 jcurtis(a)westervillelibrary.org<mailto:jcurtis@westervillelibrary.org> jcurtis5(a)kent.edu<mailto:jcurtis5@kent.edu>

E-Rate modernization order report released by FCC
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

A recent memo highlighting the achievements of the E-Rate modernization orders has revealed the following: Michigan received a 232% increase in Category 2 funding (for internal connections needed to enable high-speed broadband connectivity) and that nearly 50,000 schools and libraries nation-wide received Wi‐Fi support in 2015, compared to zero in funding years 2013 and 2014. The memo also reports a drop in the median price of connectivity per Mbps from $22.00 in 2013 to $11.73 in 2015 and $7.05 in 2016. The report also points out that Category 2 budgets will begin to expire in 2019 and action to fund the program is therefore needed. You can read the full report here: http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0118/DOC-343…. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.
