Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study

Built on the longest-running and largest study of Internet connectivity in public libraries, conducted between 1994 and 2011, this study assessed public access to computers, the Internet and Internet-related services in U.S. public libraries, as well as the impact of library funding changes on connectivity, technology deployment and sustainability.

The resulting report - published in 2012 - provided information that can help library directors and library IT staff benchmark and advocate for technology resources in communities across the nation.
