From Chris Jowaisas: TAKE THE SURVEY NOW! <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YFYT5PR> -- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YFYT5PR In case you missed it in the TexLine that went out yesterday, TLA has launched a survey to gather information from libraries about their utilization of HB 2128 discounts. See info below:
I. State Telecommunications The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) oversees the telecommunications discount program for libraries, schools, institutions of higher education, and hospitals that was created in 1995. This discount program specifies that telecommunications companies must provide certain broadband services at discounted rates. The statutory provisions governing some of these discounts are set to expire on January 1, 2012. The discount program remains an essential component of the state's information and telecommunications infrastructure. Without the discount program, many eligible institutions would be unable to meet their current level of service. Telecom Survey In order to better assess the use of the discounts, we invite all school, public, and academic libraries to complete a survey designed to gather data about the use and savings associated with the discount program. http://www.txla.org/sites/tla/files/Advocate/Telecom%20survey.pdf <http://www.txla.org/sites/tla/files/Advocate/Telecom%20survey.pdf> contains instructions and the questions that need to be answered.
