Library acts to reinforce unique community identity and engagement

Inverts traditional concept of libraries as content providers and patrons as consumers – libraries are content creators and patrons are resources and producers as well as consumers

II. The Challenges to Library Access Funding


II. The Challenges to Library Access Funding Physical

Infrastructure



Infrastructure Insufficient

Bandwidth




Bandwidth Staff Training




Bandwidth Staff Training Patron Demand


II. The Challenges to Library Access The ideal solution would enable libraries to:

Meet and anticipate patrons’ needs Predict costs annually (or even further out) Collaborate with other institutions state,

nation, and worldwide Take advantage of economies of scale Advocate for their own unique needs


What is The Ideal Solution? Statewide, robust Fee-based Connects beyond CA Optimized for libraries Economies of scale

Such an infrastructure already exists!


III. CENIC’s California Research & Education Network

CENIC is a 501(c)3 created to serve California’s K-20 research & education institutions with cost-effective, high-bandwidth networking

Five Charter Associates: California Community Colleges, California K-12 System, California State University System, Private Universities, and the University of California System


III. CENIC’s California Research & Education Network

3,800+ miles of optical fiber Members in all 58 counties connect via

fiber-optic cable or leased circuits from telecom carriers

Nearly 10,000 sites connect to CENIC

10,000,000 Californians use CENIC each day

Governed by members on the segmental level


III. CENIC’s California Research & Education Network Three networks operate simultaneously as

independent layers on a single infrastructure

CalREN-High-Performance Research (HPR): high-performance research for big-science “power users”

CalREN-eXperimental Developmental (XD): bleeding-edge research on network itself

CalREN-Digital California (DC): daily use for e-mail, web browsing, videoconferencing, etc.


IV. LibraryNet: California’s Libraries as Members of CENIC

Proposal: California’s Libraries join CENIC on the segmental level (alongside K12, CCC, CSU, UC, private universities) CA State Librarian acts as interface w/CENIC Creation of a library-oriented layer within existing

CENIC infrastructure Libraries connect via K-12 and CCC sites (behind or

in existing network “rings”) or independently CA SB 331 (Liu): funding through CA Library

Services Act


IV. CENIC LibraryNet: California’s Libraries as Members of CENIC

Enable libraries to draw on and collaborate with K-20 communities




Representation in CENIC governance





CENIC cloud-based services





CENIC cloud-based services

Better budgeting!


IV. Proof of Concept: Libraries in California’s Central Valley

Connecting 18 Central Valley counties:

Amador, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Fresno, Kings, Kern, Mariposa, Merced, Madera, Nevada, Placer, Tuolumne, Tulare, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter and Yuba

Central Valley Next Generation Broadband Infrastructure Project


IV. Proof of Concept: Libraries in California’s Central Valley

Target anchor institutions include education, libraries, public safety, healthcare 19 K-12 County Offices of Education 14 CCC districts and colleges 3 CSU campuses 20 County/Main Libraries 7 Public Safety Answering Points Business/residential (CENIC’s private sector partner)


V. Conclusions: CENIC LibraryNet will …

Leverage existing libraries’ knowledge and expertise by integrating into CENIC

Enable state, nation, and worldwide collaboration with much greater freedom, cost-effectiveness, and more predictable budgeting

Enable economies of scale for CA libraries in terms of infrastructure and advocacy

Enable networking and support optimized for your needs

Enable a statewide e-rate consortium


V. Conclusion: CENIC LibraryNet will …

Enable libraries to better fulfill their vital role as members of California’s education communities


Thank you!
