Libraries
Through the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, EAGLE‑Net will initially offer broadband service to 26 libraries in Colorado. With high-speed Internet access, library patrons have faster and most reliable access to resources such as online catalogs, databases, e-books, online job sites and research data.
Benefits for libraries through a high-speed broadband connection:
- High-capacity network that enables libraries and their patrons to transfer large amounts of data quickly
- Access to information resources and research data not available on all networks
- Greater workforce development opportunities created by linking multiple library networks and information databases together
- Ability to administer industry-specific certification tests at multiple library locations across the state
- Enhanced speed to facilitate the completion of online job applications and other services requested by patrons
- Resource sharing between different entities and stakeholders including library branches, patrons and schools
