MBLC Survey and ALA Notes

Hello everyone,

I attended the bimonthly Reference meeting last week. A representative from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners urged library staff to take a survey entitled "Massachusetts Statewide Database Evaluation: Now and the Future" at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/StatewideDBSurvey

The survey is available until 1/30/16.

You may not personally work with the databases that we offer at this website: http://galesites.com/menu/mlin_s_dentown

but you might want to try them out and see what you think. The more survey results they get, the better; our input helps prove the worth of libraries and their resources and helps justify the money spent on databases.

Also, if anyone is interested, I attended the mid-winter ALA (American Library Association) meeting in Boston a couple of weeks ago and would be happy to share my notes.

Cindy
