READINESS OF TARGET LIBRARIES IN STAGE 2009 FOR RECEIVING ICT EQUIPMENT

5 August 2010

In the period 1 – 30 June 2010 the Regional IT Specialists visited all 455 target libraries under the Glob@l Libraries – Program in Stage 2009 in order to verify their readiness for receiving ICT equipment under the program. The readiness of target libraries is verified upon compliance with the following mandatory requirements:

1. ELECTRICITY – there must be a minimum of 3 Schuko electric plugs close to every workstation, and the capacity of the grid must be consistent with the number of devices 2. INTERNET – Internet availability in the target library 3. LOCAL NETWORK – completely built local area network and power grid 4. RENOVATED PREMISES – refreshment work done on the premises 5. APPROPRIATE HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING – heating provided 6. DESKS AND CHAIRS – desks or tables and chairs for each workstation provided 7. READINESS OF THE DISTRICT – number of libraries which comply with all requirements

In cases where a library is partially compliant with the requirements, it is accepted to not be ready under this condition (i.e., the grid is consistent with the number of devices but there are not enough Schuko electric plugs – therefore, the library is not compliant with the requirements for the power grid). The analysis of information on readiness of the 455 target libraries has shown that: - Fully compliant with all requirements are 50 libraries, or 11%; - The largest readiness is observed in the renovation of premises – 429 libraries (94%); - The majority of libraries have provided desks or tables and chairs for workstations – 400 libraries (88%); - There is Internet access in 394 libraries (87%); - 392 libraries (86%) are heated by electricity, gas or solid fuel; - The readiness in provision of enough grid power for the approved ICT equipment packages and installation of electric plugs for each workstation is poorer. The power grid is compliant with the requirements only in 141 libraries (31%); - The local Internet network and power grids are built in accordance with the requirements in 89 libraries (20%). PROBLEMS: Insoluble problems may be encountered with bringing power grids into accordance with the requirements, as well as in cases where Internet providers are unable to ensure the minimal bandwidth of 512 Kbit/s or where technical opportunity for cable Internet access is unavailable, therefore a mobile connection shall be used (such cases are the villages of Gorna Malina and Baylovo in district and in the village of Balanovo in district). 1

The lack of built local area networks (Internet and electric cables reaching every workstation) in most cases is due to the belief that cabling as a quick and easy process and that it can be done when the schedule for ICT equipment delivery becomes clear. In other cases, there is no clear vision on the specific requirements in regard to cabling.
