More than half the public libraries across the state, from the urban Wasatch Front to the farthest corners of rural Utah, have also become on ramps to the "information "informa-tion highway." Led by the Utah State Library Division, the Utah Library Network (ULN) offers a wide variety of information resources over the Internet. The Park City Library joined the ULN in 1 993 as an original origi-nal "pilot site." The Summit County Library is in the process of connecting connect-ing to the network. On July 12th. the Utah Library Network Initiative, the cooperative project of state and local governments govern-ments that built the network, won the National Information Infrastructure (Nil) Award and was recognized as an example of how the potential of the information highway can be harnessed har-nessed to benefit communities and improve the lives of their citizens. The Utah Library Network was selected for the Nil Award, called the "on-line Oscar" by USA Today, from over one hundred competitors as the best government sponsored high tech networking project in the nation. It was honored at a ceremony and press conference in Washington D.C. where it was described as a "powerful, "power-ful, efficient and effective learning resource for all of the state's citizens." citi-zens." Robert Allen, Chairman and CEO of AT&T, was on hand to praise the award winners as "innovators and visionaries." Vice President Al Gore and Majority Leader Newt Gingrich also sent letters of congratulations. congrat-ulations. At the Nil Awards ceremony in Washington, Division Director Amy Owen said. "Connectivity is transforming trans-forming each community's library into a gateway to the world, capable of delivering up-to-date information from commercial and public information infor-mation providers directly into the hands of library users. This project demonstrates that librarians can use their knowledge and expertise to apply network technology and assume expanded roles in improving services to individuals and their communities." Some libraries have made Internet available to patrons while several are making plans to make it available. In the meanwhile most use the network as a resource for reference refer-ence and interlibrary loan. According to the Division's Development Services Manager. Chip Ward, the success of the ULN Initiative is due to three accomplishments. accomplish-ments. "First, it was an organizing success.

Those folks had to catch the vision and be willing to support it. Next, we realized real-ized that providing connections is not enough. People have to be trained. Our training program and manual are among the best in the nation. Finally, we did what librarians librari-ans do best. We selected excellent information resources and arranged them in a way that was convenient and familiar." "The Utah Library Network is an example of how an innovative government gov-ernment project... can promote information infor-mation equity and contribute to both productivity and the quality of our lives' Mike Leavitt, governor The network is easy to use. When an evaluation of the network showed that many librarians felt oxer-whelmed oxer-whelmed by the glut of information available on the Internet and the time needed to get it. a State Library Division's team created a "Home Page" where the best of the Internet resources could be located quickly and conveniently. In addition to the Internet, the State Library Division has made other useful databases, including the Deseret News and a full text magazine database, available. avail-able. In 1992. the Utah State Legislature funded a task force to design a public library network that would be built on the backbone of the state's existing Utah Education Network. The cooperation of public and academic librarians with each other and numerous state agencies and local governments was a key to designing a viable network. Pilot site public libraries, including the Park City Library, were connected the following fol-lowing year. Another round of pilot sites followed. The Summit County Library is among the latest round of public libraries to join the network. Today, 44 public libraries are con Club is mixing up a new refreshment called "The City Slicker Kicker."

About 80 percent of Utah's public library users now have access to a public library connected to the Internet. Governor Leavitt has been a strong proponent of building statewide electronic networks with equitable access for the most rural as well as urban citizens. The Governor expressed his pleasure that Utah's project won the Nil Award over considerable con-siderable national competition. "The Utah Library Network is an example of how an innovative government project, using high tech tools and on line resources, can promote information informa-tion equity and contribute to both productivity and the quality of our lives." The National Information Infrastructure Award is a collaborative collabora-tive effort by more than 50 public and private sector leaders to acknowledge uses of the National Information Infrastructure (Nil) that demonstrate its potential to improve people's "productivity, health and well being." This is the first year the award has been given. Sponsors hope the annual award will become a prestigious honor that publicizes successful suc-cessful projects. Finalists and winners win-ners will be the focus of a nationwide nation-wide Nil education program and featured fea-tured on an Nil Internet database. The Nil agenda was created by the Clinton Administration to spur development of a "seamless" national nation-al supernetvvork of computer data bases, communication links and consumer con-sumer electronics designed to serve as a high lech infrastructure for the 2 1st Century. By allowing citizens to access and share information effectively, the Nil will make America more competitive in the emerging global economy and improve the quality of their lives by making it easier for them to access and share information.
