******************************
Do you know of an organization that provides effective public access to
computers? Do you want to share with others the success of a public access
program and how it affects local communities? Did your library, or another,
embark on a technology planning process, and then pull it off with great
success? If you answered yes to any of the above - the WebJunction Community
wants to hear from you!!
WebJunction is an online community of libraries and other agencies sharing
knowledge and experience to provide the broadest public access to
information technology, and is supported by a grant from the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation. In our first year, we are sponsoring a new awards program
to highlight the extraordinary work of our libraries in the United States,
Tribal and First Nations, and Canada that are committed to providing public
access to technology and information in their communities. Winners are
announced quarterly in one of four categories: technology planning,
innovative content and uses of technology, building digital opportunities
through community engagement and sustainability. The deadline for entries or
nominations for the Technology Planning category is August 15. Libraries
will be judged in categories of similar organizations, based on the number
of individuals served annually, so that contestants are awarded in light of
their peer organizations.
For more detailed information on how to recognize all of our successes in
Technology Planning with a WebJunction Award, visit http://webjunction.org
