Once installed, libraries are required to run the Tech Atlas inventory program to insure that they have purchased the number of PAC computers that the grant has stipulated. NELINET will be working with all libraries to insure that this process runs smoothly. (For Rhode Island Libraries, Ocean State Libraries will be working with you.)
What is TechAtlas?
TechAtlas is a collection of free, Web-based technology planning tools for libraries. These tools are designed to help libraries build a comprehensive technology plan, but can also be customized or used piecemeal to support specific library technology analysis and development projects.
How will the TechAtlas inventory data collected from participating libraries be used?
The data that is collected as part of the Opportunity Online hardware grants program will be shared with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and used exclusively to determine eligibility for the grant program and assess the overall sustainability of technology in public libraries.
