See what skeletons we have hiding in our closets, and learn how showing yours the light of day might be the most inspiring connection you make for yourself, your colleagues, and your library!

Building A Physical Library In The Digital Age, Jennifer A. W. Joe Apr 2015

Building A Physical Library In The Digital Age, Jennifer A. W. Joe

Jennifer Wright Joe

The digital age is changing the abilities and offerings of libraries of all types. However, there is still the notion that a physical place we call the library should exist. For most institutions that have had brick and mortar structures for decades (if not centuries), this dichotomy is fairly easy to navigate. However, what do you do when your library is only 6 years old? Drawing on her experience as a branch campus librarian for the last two years, the speaker explores the challenges as well as the rewards of growing a physical library in the digital age.

Library As Publisher: Are You Ready To Support Your Community By Assisting In Content Creation?, Teresa A. Fishel, Jacki Betsworth

Teresa A. Fishel

A growing role for all types of libraries is to enable content creation by members of their community.
