Library WebHead

Library WebHead is the blog of one librarian who focuses on web technologies (per a former colleague - a library "webhead"). In it, our webhead talks about the work she's doing with that library's website, which is, inevitably, a work in process! She also highlights some of the latest trends in web development and libraries. The views expressed here are the library webhead's only and do not necessarily represent those of her employer (or of any other organization or person).

Libraries Engaging the Community

I love this TEDx presentation by OCLC librarian Chrystie Hill. If you haven't already watched it, please do. She's speaking outside the echo chamber (#echolib) about the issue that's central to libraries today - remaining relevant. In it, she talks about the role of library in connecting people to one another. She says so many other things (so much more eloquently than I can), I'll just put the YouTube video here.

BTW, if you'd like to link to her discussion of the TEDx Columbus presentation, go to http://scanblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/tedx-columbus.html
