II -- and see just how SIMPLE the filing process for E-Rate can be!   When you attend this workshop, you will receive a workshop packet chock full of information that will guide you through the filing process in laymen's terms .. and as simply as possible.   Pre-registration is recommended.  Go to http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/er82/ to choose your location and register.   Below you will find out where to get more details, but with budgets get tighter and tighter, E-Rate is a pretty good way to save some funds -- for more books and enhanced services!   The average discount in Texas is 70% or higher.  (I haven't actually calculated it this year!)  Even if your phone bill was only $50 per month, a 70% discount would mean a savings of $420 over the course of the year.  That's just your phone bill .. and that's if it's only $50 per month!  Just imagine the possibilities when you consider cell phones, ISDN, T-1, DSL .. and more!   Everything I listed above is a Telecommunications Services and therefore, NO CIPA compliance is necessary!  What is CIPA compliance?  Come to the workshop and find out!   This particular workshop will focus on the last two forms -- the 486 and the BEAR (Form 472).  The workshop I did in the Fall focused on the first half of the E-Rate filing process (Forms 470 and 471).  If you want to view that first workshop, you can request the DVD from Anne Ramos at [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Go to http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/er82/ to see more information.     If you have any questions, please contact: Marilyn Johnson Manager, Continuing Education and Consulting Texas State Library and Archives Commission PO Box 12927 / 1201 Brazos St Austin, TX 78711 512 463-6627 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]   _______________________________________________ syscon-tx mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.tsl.state.tx.us/mailman/listinfo/syscon-tx
