for additional information about LSTA funds. Libraries MUST notify the State
Library of Ohio by February 15, 1998 if they intend to apply for an LSTA grant. Then it is
mandatory that you attend an LSTA Grant Writing Workshop before you are eligible to apply
for such a grant. Registration information is at the end of the LSTA grant information on
the SLO web site. The Schools and Libraries Corporation (SLC), an independent
not-for-profit corporation, was established to administer the Universal Service Program
for Schools and Libraries. As you know, the Federal Communications Commission issued a
Universal Service Order implementing the universal service provisions of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The order seeks to ensure that all eligible schools and
libraries have affordable access to modern telecommunications and information services.
The FCC established a $2.25 billion program to provide eligible schools and libraries with
discounts for telecommunications services, internal connections and internet access.
Popularly known as the E-rate, the discounts range from 20 to 90 percent, depending on the
school's or library's economic need and locations. Funding Resources: Workshops
I attended the Grantsmanship Training Program several years ago and recommend it highly. Click here for additional information.
