Inclusion at GSLIS, with U.S. Ignite and the Office for Information
Technology Policy of the American Library Association.

 

Inclusive Gigabit Libraries is an interactive forum that examines how
libraries can play a leading role in building next-generation Internet
applications and services designed to operate on ultra-fast broadband
networks that several communities are building. The forum will feature case
studies tailored to libraries to showcase how next-generation networks can
meet the current challenges faced by libraries. The aim of the forum is to
promote the exchange of ideas among leaders with different types of
expertise. Multiple perspectives are needed for developing innovations to
demonstrate the potential of high-speed broadband in areas such as community
and economic development, education, health care, government service
delivery, and civic engagement.
