Earlier this year CORE was awarded a LSTA Planning Grant from the State Library. Dr. Robert Burgin began work on a plan for assessing technology in CORE libraries. This Strategic Initiative will be implemented under guidelines of the LSTA Planning Grant. The Key Result to be produced is a proposed plan of action to close the gap between the identified technology needs of eastern North Carolina residents and the current library resources in place to meet these needs.
As a first step, CORE libraries and users will be surveyed to determine their level of satisfaction with the technologies available at their public library and to determine their technology-related training needs. Step two will involve a survey to identify staff competencies with various technologies. The surveys will be conducted this fall.
