knowledge to assist, this toolkit was piloted with at least 70 library staff in 58 rural and tribal libraries in the US to ensure that it is as simple as possible to use. Libraries, State Library Organizations, Research and Education Networks, and others in
AK, AZ, CT, ID, KS, NE, NM, OK, PA, SD, TX, and WA rolled up their sleeves and helped test and refine the toolkit over the 3-year pilot period.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
