Best Practices Sought

Tuula Haavisto, a librarian in Finland, is looking for examples of Success Stories in libraries "as builders of the Information Society" for inclusion in a database of information being developed for the World Summit on the Information Society (known to its closest buddies as WSIS), the second plenary session of which will be held in Tunis in November 2005. The call for contributions is available in English, French and German on IFLANET at http://www.ifla.org/III/wsis/announce02052005-e.html.

If you have an example that proves that "It's All Good," this could be your chance to get some recognition on an international stage! Even more important, getting stories about how libraries are serving as important players in the burgeoning infosphere in front of the participants in this conference (who are overwhelmingly NOT librarians) would be beneficial to the whole profession.
