On February 17, 2009 the US will complete its Digital TV transition, and the era of analog broadcasting will be over. This means that many patrons will be filing into the library over the next year looking for answers on how the DTV transition will impact them.
ALA has put together some really good information for library staff on this issue. It includes posters, fact sheets, fliers, powerpoint slides - lots of really useful information.
The FCC will also hold a workshop at the end of January on how the transition will impact those in rural areas. The workshop is taking place in DC, but has a live webcast.
And if you're like me and still use rabbit ears to get your free tv, you can get a $40 coupon for a converter box.
