(14 July 2014) After 15 years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has decided to discontinue the Access to Learning Award. While the foundation is extremely proud of the ATLA recipients and the creative ways they have increased and expanded public access to technology to help people improve their lives, the decision was made after Global Libraries conducted a thorough review of the award. More information can be found on the foundation’s website – http://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Development/Global-Libraries/Access-to-Learning-Award-ATLA.
Global Libraries will be announcing the final ATLA winner at the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) Congress in Lyon, France in August 2014.
