[Libs-Or] Equity-focused Data Analytics for Libraries

[Max Macias]

FYI


Description

Libraries exist as important community anchor institutions (CAIs), defined
by the FCC “as schools, libraries, hospitals and other medical providers,
public safety entities, institutions of higher education, and community
support organizations that facilitate greater use of broadband by
vulnerable populations, including low-income, the unemployed, and the aged”
(FCC, 2011, p. 38). TV Whitespace (TVWS)-enabled cognitive radios can help
libraries propagate robust, (backhaul) internet connections to new
community spaces with the goal of keeping citizens connected in everyday
and crisis situations. To leverage TVWS successfully, however, libraries,
researchers, and information technology professionals must understand the
availability of frequency spectrum in their area to know whether TVWS is an
appropriate technology for implementation in their community. This
presentation will share equity-focused analyses of corporate and public
datasets that can help us understand the potential impact of TVWS
networking technology to support digital equity among America’s rural and
underserved communities.
