On December 16, 2024, the NYS Library Digital Equity Academy had its first virtual meeting, facilitated by library technology expert Carson Block and DLD staff. Thirty-three library and library system staff, representing school, public, and academic libraries from all across the state came together to meet and discuss digital equity in libraries. This is the first session of a seven-month continuing education program covering essential aspects of digital equity, from understanding its importance to developing and implementing effective strategies.
Subjects include:
- Visioning and assessment
- Stakeholder engagement
- Digital equity planning
- Design and implementation of those plans
