Scanning the Horizon — BCR's blog for digital and preservation activities...Take a look behind the scenes of the Desert Botanical Gardens historic Webster Auditorium building in Phoenix…discover the World Digital Library project as well as sources for digital collections for children...read about scholarly publishing, copyright reform related to recorded sound collections and when and how to start preserving your library's digital collections.

The Librarian is IN — Your own personal reference librarian...Observations on the web and the book, speaking electronically....more Dewey discussions that generated a spirited exchange of ideas and opinions...an appreciation of library "gardening"...observations on library funding threats, patron privacy issues, advocacy and fundraising…the benefits of COUNTER and SUSHI...plus reports of public library-related conferences and meetings.

Get Used — Ideas for marketing, advocacy and more...With one blogger out on maternity leave and the other getting ready for a wedding, BCR's marketing blog is a little lean at present. Once everyone settles in and life is back to normal, we expect ideas and discussions to flow with more regularity. In the meantime, we'd love to share your ideas and creative solutions to your marketing challenges.
