The State Library is the certifying authority for technology plan approval through the E-Rate Program. There are two documents available to assist you in writing a technology plan:

• Writing A Library Technology Plan: Assistance For New Hampshire Libraries is a basic guide to assist your library in writing a technology plan. It includes sample plans from three New Hampshire Libraries.
• Technology Planning was written as a workshop handout, but can be used as a stand-alone guide to writing a technology plan. This handout includes information on using TechAtlas to help build the plan.

E-Rate Discounts

New Hampshire schools and libraries are eligible for discounts of 20%-90% on telecommunications services, internal connections, and Internet Access. The State Library is ready to assist libraries applying for this federal program.

Information about the E-Rate may be obtained at Schools and Libraries Division Web Site
