This year, the Best Practices topic is Value 2.0: Developing It,
Delivering It, and Demonstrating It. We seek examples of your efforts to
create, provide, and showcase the value of the library and yourself, as
an information professional. Your submission could be electronic or hard
copy, cutting-edge or time-tested but with a new twist, in place or
conceptual, in the workplace or in the community. In 2010, we look
forward to seeing even more of your good ideas.
The scope of submissions is only limited by your imagination. In past
years, we have received: program descriptions and promotional materials,
planning documents, websites and blog entries, video, displays, original
articles, tips and techniques, testimonials, awards, and personal
observations on the topic.
I particularly want to encourage you to consider the submission of a
short, original article on the topic of VALUE from any angle: library,
organization, profession, or personal.
For the 2010 edition of Best Practices, please email your submissions to
Marie Kaddell at [log in to unmask] or mail hard copy
contributions to Marie Kaddell, LexisNexis, Suite 600, 1150 Eighteenth
Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036. The deadline for submission is April
14, 2010.
This is your opportunity to step into the spotlight! Take advantage of
it and share your successes, your ideas, and your wisdom. I am looking
forward to seeing a broad spectrum of content again this year and I hope
you will make it a point to participate.
Share! Write! Get Published!
