The training will be held on Tuesday, October 29 from 8:45-4:30 at the Library of Michigan. The 2013 Advanced E-rate Training will cover any updates provided by the SLD during their Fall Training Workshops. Attendees will also focus on procurement and the Form 471 along with other information needed to submit an application during the application window. Provided that the online Form 470 and 471 Training site is available, attendees will also review how to complete and file the Form 470 and the Form 471 online. This workshop will be a follow up to the Basic E-rate Workshop held in June and will focus on higher-level issues that are encountered during the application and review processes. Beginners are also welcome but should review the SLD web site<http://www.usac.org/sl/> before attending to familiarize themselves with the terminology and the application processes. Linda Schatz will lead the workshop and share information and program insights to help libraries successfully apply for E-rate funds. Registration for this workshop is limited to staff members of Michigan libraries. Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.
