Best Practices for Government Libraries 2011 – Preview – Part 1

Best Practices for Government Libraries 2011: e-Initiatives and e-Efforts: Expanding Our Horizons is scheduled to be released shortly. I want to share the list of articles that will be included in the 2011 edition in a series of quick posts prior to its availability as a PDF here on the Government Info Pro. The submissions are broken into six sections. This post covers the first two sections. The first section is EMBRACING NEW AVENUES OF COMMUNICATION and the second is ADAPTING TO NEW AND EVOLVNG TECHNOLOGIES.

These are the articles and submissions that you can look forward to seeing in that section:
