[WLA-All] All Digest, Vol 27, Issue 2

Wed Jun 4 13:02:43 EDT 2008

Hi Erin,
Wish we did, but we haven't done that.  I have developed an in house 
wiki and we do have a blog for our nonfiction books, but that is 
about it.  I am afraid we are stuck, stuck in the past.  the present 
and especially the future is out of (site) out of mind.  I think we 
have gone backwards and are continuing on that course.
Thank you for listening.

>AURORA, CO, June 3, 2008 - Justine Shaffner has joined the staff at BCR.
>Shaffner is filling a new position in BCR's Marketing & Outreach
>department, reflecting BCR's renewed commitment to helping public
>libraries perform at their very best. The new position reflects an
>organization-wide move by BCR to develop programs and add focus to
>specific library types in an effort to help devise solutions for the
>unique challenges within each individual library market.
>
>
>
>As public library market coordinator, Shaffner hopes to help libraries
>create innovative solutions for their most challenging problems. Of her
>new position, Shaffner says, "BCR has solutions for many issues public
>libraries encounter.  My goal is to talk to public libraries about their
>biggest concerns and together we can craft solutions that really work. I
>am excited to help BCR begin to hone its broad base of library knowledge
>and expertise into a clear understanding and awareness of the needs of
>specific library types."  As public library market coordinator, Shaffner
>will be convening public library working groups to help inform BCR's
>future products and services offerings.
>
>
>
>In addition to her duties as public library market coordinator, Shaffner
>will also be acting as project coordinator for PLINKIT, the multistate
>cooperative that aims to help public libraries implement the open-source
>software, Plone, to develop customized websites for their individual
>libraries.
>
>
>
>Before joining BCR, Shaffner spent more than 10 years at the Douglas
>County libraries in Colorado, first as reference librarian and then head
>of Adult Services for the Philip S. Miller Library.  Previous to that,
>Shaffner held the library director position for the Sandown Public
>Library in Sandown, New Hampshire. In addition, she was chair of the
>statewide AskColorado Steering Committee for six years which won the
>AskCO Project of the Year award in 2004. She has a wealth of public
>library experience, and BCR is excited to have such a strong advocate
>for public libraries on the team.
>
>
>
>BCR brings libraries together for greater success by expanding their
>knowledge, reach and power. They offer a broad range of solutions and
>their hands-on, personal attention to each member enables them to
>deliver effective and timely solutions that help libraries keep pace
>with new developments in technology and services. BCR is the nation's
>oldest and most established multistate library cooperative. Since 1935,
>the BCR team has helped libraries learn new skills, reach new customers,
>increase productivity and save money. BCR (Bibliographical Center for
>Research) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Aurora, Colorado. For
