State profiles 79 Problem Statement and Overview Over the last twenty-five years, as the Internet first emerged from the research community to become a major public medium for communication and information access, libraries have become crucial instruments for public participation in the global knowledge network. Nearly all public libraries in the United States now provide some form of public access to computing and Internet services (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Percentage of Public Libraries Connected to the Internet 100.00% 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% 1994 1996 1997 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 The issue for most libraries has moved from one of getting connected to an even more difficult one of maintaining and improving the quality of service.
