The Institute of Museum and Library Services commissioned a recently published study from the Information Institute at Florida State University, Public Libraries and the Internet 2002: Internet Connectivity and Networked Services, (PDF) to evaluate the extent of Internet connectivity in U.S. public libraries. The results, gleaned from 1,100 respondents, indicate that almost all public libraries have Internet connections and provide them to the public. 50% of these connections are high-speed. Approximately 75% of responding libraries indicated they do not use filtering on public access workstations.
