Today, more than ever before, good decisions depend on good information.
Smart communities are information-literate communities.
They know how to find, evaluate, and use information in all forms to make good decisions. They invest in libraries as centers for information and lifelong learning. Each project proposal deals with a specific component necessary to build this electronic library. The implementation of these projects will provide enhanced statewide access to affordable, reliable, progressive, and equitable library and information services for all Nebraskans, regardless of economic status, level of education, or geographic location. While each component is essential to the successful creation of this electronic library, it is possible to develop these components over time, as resources become available.
