Summary

ICfL staff reported updates to the eBranch website-hosting service for ~90 libraries, new accessibility-focused website themes, a staff tech-refresh schedule and the promotion of Allison Maier as Digital Navigator Project Coordinator.

William Lamb, E-Services Program Supervisor, told the board the eBranch Program (website hosting and support for about 90 Idaho libraries) is being revamped with updated, accessibility-focused website themes and new guidance and tutorials for libraries. He also said the agency is finishing the next round of its staff tech refresh, setting a three-year replacement cycle for staff computers.

"Allison Maier is the new Digital Navigator Project Coordinator," Lamb said, announcing Maier's promotion. State Librarian Stephanie Bailey-White confirmed that Maier’s promotion opened a Management Assistant recruitment and that a Grant Specialist has been hired to support the Grants Officer.

Deputy State Librarian Dylan Baker also noted openings for DAAI Plan subgrants (Connecting Communities and Tech Refresh) and outreach including a broadband panel appearance; these activities shape the agency’s digital equity work going into the new year.
