| Indiana University and the Gates Foundation are partners in a program to bring computer access to 185 public libraries in Indiana counties. Six graduate students were chosen to spend 20 hours per week installing computers bought with funds provided by the Gates Foundation. The longer name for the program is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s U.S. Library Program.
Indiana’s poorest communities were chosen to receive the computers to enhance the libraries’ abilities to serve their patrons and expand horizons. The students benefit, too, because they are receiving valuable hands-on experience that will benefit them in future endeavors. | |
