Make a gift to the ALA Scholarship Program on Tuesday and use the hashtag #GivingTuesday or $LibrariesTransform to let others know you have given and encourage them to do likewise.

ALA Launches New E-Rate Website

ALA has launched a new website on the Library E-Rate. While the content will be expanded over the years to come, the website is live and ready for you to see. Go to http://libraryerate.com/ to access the new website.

The aim of the new website is to help libraries get E-Rate funding. The site currently has news about the E-Rate,  contact information for each state and territory, a way for individuals/libraries to submit content to the site, contact information for the site managers,  a short glossary, and some very brief information on it.

The content definitely needs to be expanded. If you have information on this topic, this could be a good way to contribute to the larger community of librarians - submit your knowledge to the site.
