Message-ID: <2D2FE48F-0986-475A-8E22-B6F3FF08FA61@oslmac.osl.state.or.us> Oregon Reads 2009 is looking for libraries who are willing to share their community reads programming ideas with other libraries.

The Foundation is administering this survey in all Oregon public libraries as part of their new initiative to improve broadband access to the Internet in US public libraries. The first step is to collect data from every public library in the US. Collecting this baseline data will help the Gates Foundation better design programs to assist public libraries. Next Monday I will be emailing you a spreadsheet for you or someone on your staff to complete and return by email to a company working for the Gates Foundation. The deadline will be Friday, December 19th. When you have returned the survey, the contact person you list on the survey may receive a follow-up phone call to clarify the information you provided. If your library only has one broadband provider for all of your outlets, you will only have to answer 14 questions, and many are directory questions. I know you are probably feeling some "survey fatigue" and I apologize for the timing on this. However, we are being asked to do this by the Gates Foundation which is working hard to begin to create this new program to assist public libraries. My hope is that your library might see some benefit from completing this survey in the future. Please watch for the survey form from me in your email next Monday. I will appreciate your cooperation. Sincerely, Jim Scheppke, State Librarian Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 503-378-4367 (fax) 503-585-8059 jim.b.scheppke at state.or.us
