Shaka. The deadline for the
Digital Inclusion Survey is
Friday, November 21. The Dude has done this survey and if you don’t pitter patter around you can have it finished in 10 minutes (and subsequently your name will be removed from my “list”). It may be worth your while, as there are
3 Kindle Fire HD’s that are up for grabs. Enter your contact information at the conclusion of the survey to be eligible for the drawing. You can’t win if you don’t play. Also, don’t forget to complete the speed test by going to
www.speedtest.net from a public access terminal or laptop (using the library Wi-Fi). At the conclusion of the test (after you click on “Begin Test” and it runs through it) write down the download speed, upload speed, and PING. Either enter the numbers into your survey, or e-mail them to me.
To underscore the importance of this survey, please take a look at last year’s results. The
Nebraska page offers an interactive map that is searchable by geographic location or library name. It contains a wealth of specific information, including demographics, economics, education, health, and summary from last year’s survey. If you scroll down, you can see how Nebraska compares to the national averages for technology, digital literacy, and library programs. The site also contains the full
national report, as well as a
talking points handout.
