As an entity of state government, my telecommunications are procured with state contracts. While I am in the process of completing my Technology Plan, there has been no decision as to who will review the State Library's plan. While PDE reviews schools and Commonwealth Libraries reviews libraries, no one at the federal level has made a decision about the state level plans.
