Demonstrating Value

From the Members Council's Public and State Libraries Group: We were just talking about the fact that this is the legislative season in many states. OCLC just released a set of advocacy ads that are very useful, and Cynthia Cobb from Florida talked about how she is going to use those, "How Libraries Stack Up," and other materials to make the case at Florida's Legislative Day next month.

If you need to make the case for your library---to the legislature, to the city council, to a business group, or (God forbid) even to your board---don't forget to check out WebJunction. In January, Joe Anderson posted a ton of terrific new information on Demonstrating Impact 2005. This was a follow up to last year's compilation, which turned out to be one of the year's most popular topics.
