Summer 2009 - Library Displays

To christen our brand new WMRLS FLICKR PHOTO website we sent a "Call for Summer Reading Program Library Display Photos" to each library that is participating in our MRLS/MBLC Starship Adventure at Your Library Statewide Summer Reading Program. Thank you to Terri Mitus, Youth Services Librarian of the West Springfield Public Library, who is the first to answer our call!

Off the Couch

Elizabeth B. Thomsen's Gates Presentation

Elizabeth B. Thomsen, Member Services Manager of NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange) was the featured luncheon speaker for the recent Bill & Melinda Gates funded conference "What's Next: New Technologies to Help Build Your Library's Sustainability" which was held at Holy Cross College on July 24 and 25. Her humorous and informative presentation "Off the Couch: Live Beyond Broadcasting" is now available for online viewing. Be sure to read Elizabeth's description and examples that showcase YouTube and Flickr.

An overview of "What's Next" and more is featured on the WMRLS Continuing Education Workshop Notes and Handouts webpage.
