The Texas State Library and Archives Commission requires connectivity assessment services for approximately 100-200 libraries in preparation for an upcoming broadband project.
Two dozen libraries will implement or expand services, and many require tech and software.
The money comes from federal programming created during the pandemic to help address broadband shortfalls.
The agency preserves state history, promotes digital access and literacy, and has a $38.6 million budget.
The system allows patrons to interchangeably access books, CDs, audiobooks, articles, DVDs, microfilm and other materials from libraries across the state.
Since 1989, this agency has focused on becoming “the cornerstone of public-sector technology” within the state.
An information-focused agency has announced continued subscriptions with a large e-resources vendor.
