Do libraries have to again complete TechAtlas inventories for this grant?
The inventory that was completed for the May 11, 2007, deadline is considered a baseline inventory. Libraries will not have to do a complete inventory again. However, they are expected to maintain the accuracy of this inventory by deleting computers no longer in use, indicating changes in computer function by selecting or de-selecting the PAC checkbox and by adding newly acquired computers to the inventory. After the installation of the phase/year 1 Opportunity Online computers, libraries need to verify the accuracy of the inventory and submit it by December 1, 2008. Completing this second Tech Atlas survey will confirm that participating libraries have installed their Phase 1 computers and, for those libraries participating in Phase 2, will maintain their eligibility to receive Phase 2 funds. Libraries will also be asked to run TechAtlas after they have installed their computers funded through Phase 2.
