Bringing the World of Internet to Patrons, Including Our Most Rural Missourians
In collaboration with other publicly funded agencies, the Remote Electronic Access for Libraries (REAL) Program strives to connect public libraries with each other and with schools and universities through the Internet to ensure that public libraries are the center of excellence for information service to their communities.
REAL Program Goals
- Train the Missouri library community in search tools, procedures and access points for providing high quality services through automation.
- Through their public libraries, all Missouri citizens have the opportunity to share in the National Information Infrastructure. No citizens of Missouri will be left out of the information explosion because they lack the financial resources to provide their own computers and connectivity.
- Research and document project activities so that we can support successes and overcome limitations in the application of statewide connectivity and ensure that future funding and use follows a technically sound and fiscally responsible path.
The REAL Program is funded by an appropriation in HB12. This appropriation is made to the office of the Secretary of State and is administered by the Missouri State Library.
