University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development

The University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (Internet 2) seeks to enhance the Toward Gigabit Libraries project, previously funded by IMLS. This project has created a Broadband Toolkit and customized Broadband Improvement Plan designed to help public and tribal librarians learn about their current broadband infrastructure and internal information technology (IT) environment. Using these two resources, librarians are better equipped to improve their broadband services and become stronger advocates for their libraries' broadband infrastructure needs. The current proposal seeks to expand outreach to tribal and rural libraries across the United States.
