liberal arts library: July 2012
http://liberalartslibrary.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

I think this makes a lot of sense but I wonder if cooperating in this way would be legally problematic at all. In any case, using libraries' economic power as buyers to say no when the price is too high is what we need to do. At a we...

liberal arts library: Watzek Annual Report: The Short Form Version
http://liberalartslibrary.blogspot.com/2010/11/watzek-annual-report-short-form-version.html
Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Watzek Annual Report: The Short Form Version. Every year, the library puts out an annual report. For this year, we decided to try something a little different and create an easily digestible "short form" version of it. The idea was to brag about a few different areas of our work: building collections, engaging in teaching and research, exploring unique source material, and sponsoring exhibits and events. Watzek Library 2009-10 Short Form Annual Report. A Society of Books.

http://liberalartslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/07/managing-e-resources-in-modern-ils.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Managing e resources in a modern ILS: shared work or vendor provided service? The Orbis Cascade Alliance Summer Meeting. Happened a few weeks back in downtown Portland. It's an exciting time for the Alliance as we enter the home stretch towards the migration to a shared integrated library system. The feeling is very much a different one than previous Alliance meetings- there is a much deeper sense that we are working together. But even as we see the possibility of more efficient...
