    Welcome to the webinar, we will begin shortly! Since we have many people attending today and strive to reduce background noise, we will have all attendee phone lines muted. We also ask that you please use the mute function on your phone if available. If you have a question, please use the text box located in the GoToMeeting dashboard. We will try to address all questions at the end of the webinar in the order in which they were received.

  11. Tips for Completing the Survey Print pdf and use it to gather data Library Director completes Library Jurisdictional survey Branch Needs Assessment: Gather technical data from IT staff and cost data from business office Enter data on Survey Monkey Use same computer and same browser Use the Help Desk for ANY questions
  12. Questions about Completing the Survey This survey is complicated. Can I do it later? You want details I don’t have. Can you help me find them? My city/county/Board/IT isn’t sure we want this. Can you talk to them? We can’t break out the costs as you request. How much detail do you need? We have plans to upgrade our connectivity. Should I fill out the survey based on what we have now or what we will have in the future?
  13. How Can I Get Help with the Survey?
