The Alaska Online With Libraries (OWL) Program is funded by the State of Alaska for the following purposes:

• Provide rural Alaskans with high speed internet access that urban Alaskans have long been using for education, employment, and enjoyment.
• Bring the world to Alaska by connecting people from all areas of the state with other Alaskans and Americans through videoconferencing.
• Reducing costs for agencies and organizations by substituting video meetings and visits for travel.
• Provide information technology training to Alaskans that will enhance their future education and employment prospects.
