    Libraries Thriving
     A Collaborative Space for E-Resource Innovation. Thinking and Doing.

     Dear Fellow Members of the Educational Community,

    I would like to invite you to join the Libraries Thriving online community, a space dedicated to communicating the value of libraries and their ability to impact the learning moment.  Libraries Thriving differs from other professional networks and online communities that you’re involved in because what happens in our space is theory combined with practical examples. Comprised of librarians, faculty, publishers, library vendors, researchers and other educators, this collaborative community is for sharing ideas and working together towards the common goal of increasing innovative use of e-resources.

     

    There are numerous benefits to participating in this innovative online community including:

     

     1.       The Opportunity to Attend Free Educational Seminars

    With the Credo Reference Online Seminar Series--Summer 2011 beginning in July, there are still seats available to attend three informative seminars on subjects relevant to e-resource use in libraries.

     Interested? Learn more here: Credo Reference Online Seminar Series--Summer 2011

     

    2.       The Chance to Discuss E-resource Topics with Other Information Professionals

    The conversation about topics such as small library issues and information literacy have already started… what do you have to add?

    3.       The Possibility of becoming a “Critical Colleague” through Participation in a Learning Community

    With the Libraries Thriving Learning Community Spring 2011 wrapping up, there are numerous opportunities to engage in both conversations and actions to transform what it means to have a thriving library.
