ALA’s Washington Office has released two documents, Broadband Funding:
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009<http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/OVERVIEW1.pdf>(pdf)
and Guidance
for the Library Community: Preparing a Proposal for the Broadband Technology
Opportunities Program<http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PROPOSALGUIDANCE.pdf>(pdf).
The first document provides an overview of and library perspective on
the broadband funding programs administered by NTIA and RUS. The second
document provides more detail and some thoughts on strategy for libraries
that are considering applying for BTOP.

These documents will be widely released at the 2009 ALA Annual Conference in
Chicago.
