Getting Up to Speed: Sustaining Your Broadband

Building on information presented in the first session, this webinar will provide information on lower cost broadband connectivity options available to libraries. It will also explore the value of enhanced connectivity to library patrons and to the community at large, providing attendees with a broader understanding of the issue to enhance advocacy efforts as demand, costs, and expectations rapidly increase.

The Getting Up to Speed: Understanding and Sustaining Your Broadband Webinar series, presented by Christine Peterson of Amigos Library Services, will present a basic overview of broadband connectivity within the library context, including connectivity options, information about the National Broadband plan and advocacy planning. The series is split into two 1.5 hour long Webinars: Understanding Your Broadband and Sustaining Your Broadband.

Do your patrons complain about sluggish internet service?! Does slow service impact your ability to meet the community’s needs and expectations?! If you know that your library needs to upgrade, but you do not know where to start or do not understand your options, this is the series for you!
