Opportunity Online Summit

Posted on June 11th, 2009

2:33 pm – The Arkansas Opportunity Online Broadband Summit assembles library leaders, community partners and statewide stakeholders to examine the current state of connectivity in Arkansas libraries and raise awareness about the need for increased connectivity.

2:42 pm – My experiences today at getting a connection creates a great deal of empathy for the rural residents in Arkansas that might only have broadband access at their local library… if at all.

2:45 pm – The Arkansas Opportunity Online Summit is not just about libraries, it is about establishing community partnerships which strive to ensure that everyone will have at least one place in their community to use the power of broadband technologies.

2:48 pm – Apparently the purpose of the summit is to reach out to community partners and state leaders who can work with thier libraries to harness the power of new technologies for the benefit of all their people and to extend teh reach of broadband to areas not currently served. It is the beginning of an important partnership among libraries, communities, and the state who are dedicated to improving library connnectivity.
