        1) What are the one or two most pressing needs of
           your PA school or library for the implementation
           of effective and sustainable telecommunications
           programs?

The Mayor's Commission on Literacy works with more than 200 adult literacy
agencies in Philadelphia.  My biggest question in what do adult literacy
agencies need to do to qualify for the discounts that will be available to
schools and libraries?  Will literacy agencies need to form partnerships
with schools or libraries, or will they be able to get discounts on their
own?

        2) How do the needs of schools and libraries differ,
           and how are they complementary?
Libraries serve all age groups, which most schools do not, so libraries
need to provide a broader range of materials.  Both exist to provide
access to information, so they need to be connected to the Internet.

        3) How do the needs of rural schools and libraries
           differ from those of schools and libraries in
           urban areas?-
Urban areas probably would have more users for each computer, so that
would have to be taken into account when budgeting for staff time,
supplies and maintenance.
