<a href="http://usac.org/sl">E-rate program</a>, but aren't sure if it is the right choice for your library? This program is a great opportunity for libraries to receive discounts on telecommunications and Internet access, but applicants are sometimes nervous
about program complexity. However, recent changes in program rules streamlined the application process for many libraries. This one-hour webinar will cover the basics of E-rate including the overall program, the application process and filing deadlines. Greg
Weisiger and Donna Mattingly from <a href="http://eratecentral.org">E-rate Central</a> will provide participants with the tips and tricks to a successful application and also save time at the end of the presentation for general questions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
