Tame The Web: Libraries and Technology: SirsiDynix UpStream: Libraries Building Communities
Michael Stephens, a well-known medical library blogger, reprinted this article of his from the Spring 2006 Sirsi Dynix Upstream newsletter. He has strong praise for our colleagues in the Ann Arbor District Library. If you're not familiar with the library and the innovative use it's making of technology, give this a read. This morning at the coordinators' meeting we were talking about potential partnerships for outreach. AADL looks like a partner from whom we could learn much.

Ya gotta love that library! When I am not at HSL, I am at the AA District Lib. It has everything one would need--a children's room complete with live fish, interesting exhibits, prints to loan, audio tapes, video tapes, DVD's, computers for public use (lots of them), databases, new books, old books, books for sale, a wonderful staff, marvelous technology (super web site!), fascinating and pertinent lectures and musical performances, and even--a coffee shop!
