[PL-Directors] Edge Initiative: benchmark feedback needed

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings everyone and Happy New Year!

Below is a message about the Edge Initiative (a collaborative effort to create benchmarks for public access technology); this month they're asking for feedback regarding having sufficient devices and bandwidth to accommodate user demand. Please read below and also note the webinar that will be hosted about this topic.

Your input matters so please take a few moments to answer the 2-question survey, thanks!

Cheers,
Darci

Hi everyone,

It’s that time again to share your thoughts and experiences.

You’ve likely heard about the Edge Initiative<http://www.libraryedge.org/>, a collaborative effort to create benchmarks for public access technology, where benchmarks and resources combine to help libraries of all sizes drive investment and spark continuous improvement toward technology services. TechSoup is part of the effort, and we’re asking libraries to help us create resources that work for everyone.

To do that, we need your thoughts on how the benchmarks might work in your library. Each month we’re posting a 2-question survey to capture your thoughts. It’s very important that libraries rural and small libraries have a big voice in this project. Please take a moment to let us know what you think about one benchmark: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HLMG9LC (And register to win a prize!)

We’re also holding a webinar on the topic of this benchmark in January:

Broadband Basics for Libraries

Thanks much for your thoughts, and happy holidays!
