After Access: Libraries and Digital Empowerment

This report of the American Library Association (ALA) presents recommendations made by participants in ALA's Digital Inclusion Summit 2015. "After Access: Libraries and Digital Empowerment" is a helpful example of insights and approaches in this area and the efforts of librarians to “expand the ways in which they reach into schools and communities to help people harness the transformative power of digital information to support education, employment, entrepreneurship, empowerment and engagement” (The E’s of Libraries®) for everyone, everywhere. This report also includes recent research findings that inform digital inclusion. ALA has been a long-time leader in advocating for libraries to build digitally inclusive communities that support individual opportunity and community progress.
