    THE CORPORATION FOR EDUCATION NETWORK INITIATIVES IN CALIFORNIA Current and Future Uses of Broadband in the Peninsula Library System Prepared by CENIC in Partnership with the Peninsula Library System, June 12, 2013 Executive Summary alifornia’s education and research communities currently leverage their networking resources under CENIC, the CCorporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, a non-profit corporation created in 1997 in order to obtain cost- effective, high-bandwidth networking to support their missions and respond to the needs of their faculty, staff, and students. Work is underway to secure funding to connect California’s public libraries to CENIC as a sixth segment, with the California State Librarian acting as the libraries’ interaction point with CENIC. The Peninsula Library System, a consortium of 35 public and community college libraries, will be the first system to connect to CalREN, CENIC’s high-speed network, in August of 2013. This report describes current uses of technology in libraries, identifies the obstacles librarians face as a result of limited bandwidth, and documents ideas librarians have for using expanded broadband capacity to serve their patrons. Current Broadband Enabled Programs and Services The libraries of the Peninsula Library System, a consortium of 32 libraries in San Mateo County, are some of the most technologically sophisticated in the state of California. Located in Silicon Valley, a region known for technology innovation, library leaders have actively sought out and implemented programs and services that take advantage of the latest technology. The typical activities that a library patron wishes to carry out at their library currently include social networking, watching videos, e-mail, job-seeking and online applications, word processing, catalog search, general Internet research, printing, and participating in online courses.
