Exploring Digital Needs After a Hotspot Program
This essay I wrote for LIS 708: Evidence Based Planning, Management, and Decision Making fulfills Learning Outcome 2b. I work through the issues faced by community members with no/low access to the internet and technology and explore how a real-life hotspot lending program does and does not address those issues. I also go through steps the library can take to gather information on how people are being impacted by current policies and programs in order to create complementary programs that better serve their specific digital needs.
