[PL-Directors] FSU, Gates Foundation survey of public library internet connectivity underway - please help

[Ann Reed]

This fall, Dr. Jon Bertot of Florida State University, and the Gates Foundation will be teaming up again to do a survey on public library internet connectivity, and the cost of connectivity.  We encourage the libraries in the sample to help with this effort, as the results help inform future activities of the Gates Foundation, as well as give library supporters information to push for federal and state level policies to help libraries.

Help will especially be appreciated with questions about the library's internet bandwidth (check with Internet service provider), and expenditures data.  Thank you in advance for participating in this vital research!
