in partnership
with the Information Institute at Florida State University, has
developed a new
tool for library advocates: the <b>State Statistics Module</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">This
interactive website contains copious information about broadband
connectivity
in libraries and allows for the creation of customized reports, based
upon 11
variables from the "2006 Public Libraries and the Internet Study."
Users have the opportunity to create tables and charts of data at the
national
and state levels and create comparisons of the data. Users also have
the
ability to write descriptions of the graphs and tables, as well as an
introduction and conclusion to their report. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Ideally,
this website will be used for the creation of reports to use as
handouts to
both federal, state and local policy makers, when advocating for
libraries at
national events such as <a moz-do-not-send="true"
