Taping "T is for Training" in the Tower room

This is a shot of us taping an episode of T is for Training at the Princeton Public Library during Pres4Lib this past Friday.

Presentation for Libraries aka Pres4Lib conference

So, no conference for trainers that you can afford to attend and focused on libraries?

Why create one!

That is the spirit of the Pres4Lib conference happening tomorrow in a couple of hours at the Princeton Public Library and oraganized by a 4 pack of great folks from New Jersey.

If you want to follow the conference live via the intertubes you can look at the live streams listed on the pres4lib streaming page.

I hope you can follow the proceedings and join us in virtual spirit and in person next year.

A Tool for Tough Times: Library Savings Calculator

Many of the best things about the world wide web are things that are given away for the sake of making the world a better place.

Things such as the Library Savings Calculator. Here is the sample of how it works.  Your library’s customers can send you dollars and sense examples of how much value they get from your library.

In these difficult incredibly stressful times for libraries trying to justify their Return On Investment (ROI) to their communities, there is this great and FREE tool for libraries to use to justify their value to their community.

They usually charge for services to libraries receiving over 1 million in funding but it looks like they are giving this tool away!

THANK YOU to Engaged Patrons for providing this service free to all libraries.
