Thursday -- December 3, 2011, from 3:45 to 4:45 pm Roosevelt Commons Building Rebecca Sears and Samantha Becker will discuss TASCHA's new project to develop a framework for digitally inclusive communities<http://tascha.uw.edu/2011/11/research/inclusionframework/>. In cooperation with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and as part of the U.S. National Broadband Plan, this framework will provide communities with a resource for assessing and building the capacity of public libraries and community-based organizations to meet the public's information needs. In this talk, Rebecca and Samantha will discuss the process and substance of the project, including: * Who is involved and how is the project engaging a broad range of stakeholders to shape the framework? * What are examples of different types of frameworks, and how did the project determine an appropriate structure for the digital inclusion framework? * What are some of the contents of the framework and why are they important? TASCHA Talks are bi-weekly sessions to share, discuss, and advance new ideas around topics related to technology and social change.
