When is library week 2011

Saskatchewan Library Week is celebrated throughout Saskatchewan in all types of libraries, in both urban and rural communities and by all age groups. Join the discussion on social media with SaskLibWeek. In light of this situation, SLA will be offering a number of minute videos created to spark interest in a new skill, a different author, or to engage with a new idea. Libraries will be able to share the videos with their patrons in their physical space if they are open, or through their website and social media pages.

More information is available here. For copies of web banner, poster and graphics, please email slacomm sasktel. SLA will still be mailing print posters to hundreds of libraries this year!

Final Reports are due in January Libraries may need to break with business as usual and take a whole new look at their strategies and activities from the ground up.

Many new ideas for e-books in libraries have been presented including e-books that can only be checked out a certain number of times before needing to be repurchased, e-book subscription packages that can be used by libraries as they see fit, and libraries working directly with publishers and other content providers instead of going through intermediaries. As these ideas progress and evolve, it is clear that libraries will need to continually reevaluate themselves.

Libraries continue to offer a range of helpful resources and programs to their communities from computers with internet access and printers, to children's reading and literacy programs, to book clubs and other community gatherings. Many patrons today benefit from all that libraries have to offer, but as technology progresses, the demand for instantaneous services and materials will continually increase.

IGI Global publishes a variety of material on library science covering topics such as digital libraries and library information systems. They also plan a webinar where they share creative ideas from the public on how libraries can use National Library Week to reach communities even further.
