Need some help pimping your library?
Libsuccess.org is a wiki (and for anyone who doesn't quite know what a wiki is, basically it is an online, group-edited web page organized much like an encyclopedia) of best practices for libraries.
If you need some ideas on how to pimp up your library services, this is a great place to go. They have sections on programming, reader's advisory, how to sell your library, technology, and more.
If you have some ideas or want to share things that your library does well, you can sign up to be a contributor to the wiki.
This brings me back to one of the most important factors of doing a good job in your library -- SHARE with people! Communicate! For God's sake, if you have a great idea, tell other people about it! Don't make them reinvent the wheel. And if you're looking for great ideas, check libsuccess.org and check with colleagues (locally or on library listservs) to see if you can copy or steal any ideas from them. ¶ posted by Mary Martin @ 1:41 PM
