As access to broadband becomes increasingly important to full
participation in society, the need for communities to develop plans that address the
needs of all of their residents is urgent. Answering the call of the National
Broadband Plan, IMLS has worked with more than one hundred organizations
and individuals with deep knowledge about public access to technology and
the diverse information needs of communities to develop a "_proposed
framework for digitally inclusive communities_
(http://idevmail.americaneagle.com/link.aspx?l=1&d=196&mid=333778&m=510) ."
Libraries and other community-based organizations play especially
important roles in meeting the needs of hard to reach residents and ensuring
opportunity for all. Libraries are recognized community anchors with the capacity
to convene public officials, businesses, schools, hospitals, public safety
and cultural institutions so that they can work together to fully and
effectively realize the value of a digitally inclusive community.
"We are looking forward to hearing directly from community members and
local officials about the challenges they face in creating digitally inclusive
communities" said Susan Hildreth, IMLS Director. "Every voice helps to
strengthen this work which we hope will result in a resource that is truly
effective and useful."
The three cities were selected to assure participation by diverse
audiences from a mix of rural and urban environments.
The forums will be instrumental in accomplishing three important goals:
1. Finalizing the framework with meaningful feedback from the general
public and relevant stakeholders.
2. Building support for digital inclusion and fostering relationships
with communities and partners who can facilitate future piloting of the
digital inclusion framework.
3. Developing implementation and communication plans with meaningful
feedback from community leaders.
IMLS is working with the University of Washington Information School and
the International City/County Management Association to finalize the
framework incorporating insights gathered from the forums. The framework will
serve as the foundation for development of tools and resources to help
communities across the United States in realizing the benefits of digital
inclusion.
