Library Renewal: Developing Econtent Options
January 6th, 2011 Brian Herzog
Have you heard about Library Renewal? It's been percolating on liblogs lately, and sounds like a great (and sorely needed) initiative.
From their website:
Our goal is to find new econtent solutions for libraries, while staying true to their larger mission.
Concise and focused, and something libraries really do need. They will be hosting a series of events, will offer speakers, and invite librarians to participate via Twitter, Facebook, blog, and their mailing list.
An initiative like this is long overdue for libraries. A lot of the services we offer are not quite good enough, let alone outstanding - and it is only by banding together that we'll be able to force positive change. Thanks to the Library Renewal board for getting things started.
