MEMORANDUM
TO: Library Commission
FROM: Mary Jo Joiner, Library Director
DATE: 31 December 2007
SUBJECT: Library Technology Plan
The packet for the January meeting includes a draft of a new Library Technology Plan.
The plan we currently have in place expires at the end of this fiscal year. The Plan is
required for participation in the The Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal
Service Fund, also known as Erate.
The attached BIA forms have been submitted prior to the first of 4 filings with the
Universal Service Administrative Company that administers Erate. In order to proceed
with the application process, an updated technology plan must be submitted to and
approved in writing by the Alaska State Library.
The updated plan is different from the preceding one in the following:
The library mission statement has changed.
A section has been added highlighting those parts of the Library Commissions'
recenfly passed goals and objectives that are relevant to the use of technology in
the Library.
The current technology status has been updated to reflect the number of
computers and other hardware currently in use.
The goals and objectives have been updated to reflect currency.
The previous objective to optimize the use of Horizon has been replaced with the
objective of upgrading that automation system.
The other objectives and goals have not substantially changed, although the tasks
and timeline have to reflect forward momentum.
I have not detailed the exact number of computers, etc. that will be replaced, but
rather have included a statement that we will have a rotating maintenance
schedule.
The budget and evaluation sections have not substantially changed.
