Public Librarians: Your Input, Please

By Ellen Fox

BCR plans to coordinate a new shared collection of netLibrary electronic books. This new e-book collection will be designed for the public library community.

NetLibrary has more than 40 small collections set up to serve the needs of public libraries. BCR is trying to decide which of these collections would be most valuable to the BCR public library community. We have created a Web survey with a listing of the collections (with links to spreadsheets containing the titles for each collection), and we would be grateful if you would tell us your top five picks. Just point your browser to: www.bcr.org/~randd/netlib/titlelist.html and click on the check boxes next to the five collections you think would be most valuable to your library. Your participation will greatly help us with our progress on this project.

We will avoid title overlap as much as possible with the current BCR shared collection.

Thanks for your help in designing the new shared collection. We look forward to seeing your choices.
