Abstract
Public libraries need access to reliable, automated, and longitudinal data on the speed and quality of service of their broadband Internet connections. Having such data at a local, granular level is essential for libraries to understand how their broadband infrastructure can meet their communities' digital demands, as well as inform local, state, and national broadband planning efforts in the U.S. This paper presents a participatory research methodology and an information system design to investigate how public libraries can utilize broadband measurement tools to help achieve these goals.
