KAN-ED Membership Record Update Information (For existing KAN-ED Members)

This message is for those of you who are already KAN-ED Members. You
should have received a notification to update your KAN-ED Membership
record by clicking on a link that was sent to you from KAN-ED.

Below is the list of questions that are in the membership record update.
I have included some sample answers for your reference. NOTE: If you are
a COX Project KIDS Library these sample answers will pertain to your
record update as this is actual COX Project KIDS information.

In this spot enter any service or product you would like KAN-ED to offer&
i.e. more databases, genealogy resources, video conferencing, etc. Be
specific if possible.

8. Aggregate purchasing areas your institution would utilize

i.e. Databases, technology items, etc.

9. Has your institution collaborated online with K-12, Higher Education,
Hospital or other library constituent groups either locally or across the
state if your institution applied for e-rate funds (if so, were they
received)

Yes or No Basically they want to know if you have done any type of
online collaboration with other institutions via some type of interactive
information transfer such as ITV, video streaming, etc.

That pretty much sums it up. Thanks for you time and good luck on
updating your record.
