Increasing access in international libraries.

To build on the success of Chile's Directorate of Libraries, Archives, and Museums' (DIBAM) efforts to bring Internet access and staff training for all 368 libraries in the country, the foundation announced an additional grant of $1 million in 2004. The foundation initially invested $9.3 million in the project in 2001. The foundation also continues its partnership with Mexico's libraries. By the end of 2004, Mexico's Digital Access to Library Services (DALS) had reached 680 libraries and installed 4,201 computers to serve low-income and disadvantaged communities across Mexico.
