SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent Federal grant-making agency authorized by the Museum and Library Services Act, Pub.

Museums and libraries of all sizes and types may receive support from IMLS programs. The Museum and Library Services Act includes a strong emphasis on supporting library services through the use of technology, on assisting museums in their educational role, and in modernizing their methods and facilities. This survey will assist IMLS in understanding the current status and capacity of museums and libraries to use digitization and technology to deliver educational resources to students, life-long learners, underserved populations, and the general public. Pub. L. 104-208 enacted on September 30, 1996, as amended, contains the Library Services and Technology Act and the Museum Services Act. Pub. L. 104-208 authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services to make grants to States, and to Indian tribes and to organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians for—

(1)Expanding services for learning and access to information and educational resources in a variety of formats, in all types of libraries, for individuals of all ages;

Pub. L. 104-208 also provides authority for the Director to make grants, and to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements for activities that may include

(1)Education, recruitment, and training of persons in library and information science, particularly in areas of new technology and other critical needs, including graduate fellowships, traineeships, institutes and other programs.

(1)Supporting museums in providing learning and access to collections, information, and educational resources in a variety of formats (including exhibitions, programs, publications, and websites) for individuals of all ages;

(2)supporting museums in building learning partnerships with the Nation's schools and developing museum resources and programs in support of State and local school curricula;

The Director is also authorized to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with appropriate entities to strengthen museum services. II. Current Actions One of the core duties of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, as stated in its strategic plan, is to create and sustain a nation of learners by building the capacity of libraries and museums. This goal will be accomplished in part by promoting access to learning and information resources held by museums and libraries through electronic linkages. IMLS is seeking assistance in developing specific plans to collect information from the U.S. library, museum and archive communities to assess their digitization readiness and technological capacity. A great deal of information has been collected on the Internet access of libraries for internal and public access. The information IMLS collects should build on but not duplicate existing or ongoing collections. *Title:* Technology and Digitization Survey. *OMB Number:* None. *Agency Number:* 3137. *Frequency:* One time. *Affected Public:* Museums, libraries, archives and State Library Administrative Agencies. *Number of Respondents:* 6366. *Estimated Time Per Respondent:* 1 hour. *Estimated Time Per Respondent:* 1 hour. *Total Burden Hours:* 6366. *Total Annualized capital/startup costs:* 0. *Total Annual Costs:* $247,080. *Contact:* Comments should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn.: OMB Desk Officer for Education, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503
