“Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study 2007-2008”
Builds on the research of John Carlo Bertot and Charles R. McClure since 1994
Who can use this information?

1. National survey
2. Questionnaire sent to Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA)
3. Focus groups and site visits held in four states

73% of libraries are the only source for free access to the Internet in their communities
Flattened funding levels for most libraries A need for more training in technology skills Connection speeds are faster in general Many library building are inadequate for technology
improvements Collection of online resources grew significantly
