CDI has successfully obtained large grants to support and sustain local broadband adoption to incubate new applications that will run on ultra-high speed broadband networks; to examine effective ways to promote news literacy among youth nationwide; to create and/or redesign public computing spaces for better collaboration; and to facilitate discussions among library, government, corporate, and nonprofit leaders about how libraries, as anchor institutions, can leverage gigabit-speed networks and applications to benefit communities. Our projects page reflects the variety of work in these areas.
