[Michlib-l] E-Rate at MLA and a Nov 4 workshop at Delta Township District Library

[Norris, Sonya (MDE)]

The Library of Michigan asked public library directors: if you don't apply for E-Rate discounts, what's stopping you? The majority response was not concerns about filtering but the administrative burden. The landscape has changed with the arrival of the Michigan State Education Network (MiSEN). It's a fiber backbone that provides fantastic speeds for a mere $.50/mb. What makes it even better is that libraries connected to the MiSEN will be able to sign a Letter of Agency to join consortium applications and stop filing E-Rate paperwork but still receive the discounts. No more forms!

Want to learn more? Stop by the MiSEN booth at MLA located next to the registration booth or come to the library-specific E-Rate training on November 4 at Delta Township District Library from 10-2.
