<div dir="ltr">For those of you who do E-rate, this message from Lorrie Germann has some important information about a new website. The site is intended primarily for K-12 E-rate applicants, so it does not include the registration link to her public library workshop coming up on November 9. (You can register for that one at <a href="http://ceohio.evanced.info/signup/eventdetails?EventId=463&lib">http://ceohio.evanced.info/signup/eventdetails?EventId=463&lib</a>.)<div><br></div><div>Note that the "Join the E-Rate Community" link on the new website replaces the current E-rate listserv, so you'll need to join if you want to get periodic news from Lorrie.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Stephen Hedges</div><div>Director, Ohio Public Library Information Network</div><div>2323 W.

<br>
We have just released a new website for E-Rate resources, located on the <b>Ohio K12 Help Portal</b> at
<a href="https://www.ohio-k12.help/erate/" target="_blank">https://www.ohio-k12.help/<wbr>erate/</a>. From the site, you can access timely documents that will assist with filing the various E-Rate applications, as well as news releases. From the "<b>Events</b>"
tab, you will see the list of upcoming training sessions, and links to register.
<br>
<br>
You will also find on the right hand side of the webpage, the option to "<b>Join the E-Rate Community</b>".<br>
<br>
In an effort to "clean up" the E-Rate listserv, which has approximately 800 subscribers, and many incorrect or out dated email addresses, I ask that you please subscribe to the E-Rate Community on my new site. <b> This will replace the current listserv, effective
October 3rd, 2016. </b><br>
<br>
<b>Please note:</b> After clicking on "Subscribe", you will receive an email from</font><font size="2"><span> webform@ohio-k12.help, with a link to confirm your subscription. So, be sure to watch for it.<br>
<br>
</span></font>If you have questions, or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
