[OPLINTECH] Census Prep

[Don Yarman]

A post today on the LITA blog
<https://litablog.org/2020/02/the-2020-census-starts-in-two-weeks-are-your-computers-ready/>
has some basic decent tips for expanding access to the Census
questionnaire within libraries:

   - Provide guest or “express” internet access for census respondents
   without a library card number.
   - Temporarily add or dedicate devices for 15-minute user sessions to
   reduce wait times for patrons completing the census.
   - Leave your Wi-Fi on in March and April when the library is closed so
   users can access it from the parking lot.
   - Whitelist my2020census.gov and 2020census.gov in the library’s
   firewall.
   - Make mobile devices available to complete the census at bookmobiles
   and other outreach efforts.

The LITA blog has a bad link to a tip sheet. Here is the correct tip sheet
link.

I don't want to overwhelm you with links, but you can dive into a lot more
information at OLC's Census Resource Page <https://olc.org/census/>.
