New Legislation: Revolutionizing Education Through Digital Investment

Mary Minow over at LibraryLaw tells us about a new bill that was introduced:

The official title of the bill (H.R. 3631) is the “Revolutionizing Education Through Digital Investment Act of 2007″.
…
This could really help libraries. The bill would create a Digital Trust to provide financing for research, development, and demonstration of advanced information technologies for lifelong learning…similar to the National Science Foundation model. Proposals for grants and contracts would generally be evaluated by peer review, as in the NSF grants.

None of Illinois’ lawmakers is currently listed as a cosponsor, so if you think this is something that deserves to be passed, why not drop them a line?
