Getting Up to Speed: Understanding Your Broadband

This introductory webinar will define broadband and outline the current connectivity options available to libraries (T-1, DSL, cable, fiber, etc.). Attendees will also learn about the National Broadband Plan and how it affects libraries in a few specific areas.

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!
