Benefits of E-rate (9/19/23)
In this meeting – the first of a series of meetings and trainings – we hear from three Massachusetts libraries that have used E-rate to upgrade their technology infrastructure. They share information about the benefits they’ve reaped, the challenges they’ve faced, and share how they have effectively taken advantage of the program. We also cover MBLC’s new initiative to help interested libraries take advantage of the program, including upcoming trainings and support resources.
