  7. How Can We Get There? • Infrastructure To Move Content • Robust Connections to Kentucky Information Highway and Internet • Transparent Linking for 8 Online Library Catalogs • One Single Web Gateway for All Information Resources for Kentuckians

  8. How Can We Get There? • Collaborative Purchasing / Licensing of Electronic Information Resources • Leveraging Resources and Leveling the Playing Field, e.g., OCLC FirstSearch • Coordinated Digitizing of Kentucky-Oriented Information Resources • Census Data, State Publications, Kentuckiana Collections & Archives

  9. How Can We Get There? • Universal Borrowing and Document Delivery • Equal Access to Books and Journals Housed in All Libraries For All Students • State-Wide Information Literacy and Computer Competency Programs • Educating and Retooling the Workforce for the 21st Century

  10. Next Steps • Learn About Other State-Wide Projects: Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina • Refining Plan and Budget With CPE • Implementation Plan

  11. Florida Distance Learning Library Initiative This was a screen shot to the program that is no longer in existence. It was a cooperative effort of the Community College System, the State University System, and the public libraries of Florida through collaboration with the State Library of Florida. Its purpose was to provide cost-effective, expanded access to library services in support of distance learning.
