The first meeting for the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute was last Friday, and I really loved it! We all got together at the Southshore Regional Library in Ruskin, FL. What a beautiful building! All of the students plus our mentors showed up for the first day. We had to get our picture taken, and post them along with some information about us. They asked us to pick our favorite book - As librarians, that is an almost impossible task!

We were greeted and welcomed warmly by… Continue

I have to say that there are some pretty spectacular librarians in… Continue

I saw somewhere (2.0 blog posting) that you might be interested in applying 2.0 in a small or rural library and just wanted to let you know that we started a group to address such things--just fyi! We are doing our recruiting right now... :-)

As for programs we use GoLive and Dreamweaver for editing purposes but as for the code itself, it was mostly complied and written by hand. All of our pages are XHTML and CSS to be more compliant and use Javascript for navigation and a smaller smattering of Ajax.

It's been my experience that it depends a lot on the outlook of the staff. This is the second small library in which I've worked, and I've found that change can happen incredibly quickly when embraced...or incredibly slowly when stonewalled!
