Please forgive any cross postings. Does the thought of filing for the E-Rate discount frighten you? Or conjure unpleasant thoughts similar to filing your taxes? Perhaps 'E-Rate: The Basics, Part I' is for you. On October 11 2005, the Texas State Library will present a workshop designed to help public libraries file for the E-Rate discount. For those who might not be familiar with the E-Rate filing process, this may be the jump-start that you need. For those who have filed before, this workshop may provide useful information to streamline your efforts. Although an overview of the E-Rate program and filing process will be provided, the primary focus of this workshop will be on the Form 470 and Form 471 -- including recent changes to both forms. For those of you that have not filed before, these are the first two forms in the filing process. You may be interested to note that this particular workshop will be offered via videoconference. The presenter, Marilyn Johnson, will be in Austin at the Texas State Library, while you may be able to attend at a library closer to you. The videoconference environment allows two-way communication - in other words, you will be able to speak with the presenter. Details on participating locations and registration are available on the TSLAC CE page. The direct link is http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/erat/index.html As seating is limited, pre-registration is preferred.
