Reporting Out: several people from the library attended the 2010 WebWise Conference on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World. It was held March 3-5 at the Hyatt Regency at the Colorado Convention Center. This year’s theme was “Imagining the Digital Future.” Conference programs addressed the successes and innovations of the past as well as the opportunities and challenges that can help drive museum and library sciences into the future. WebWise is an initiative of the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS). IMLS is the primary source of federal grants and support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.
More information is on the wiki: http://intranet.auraria.edu/wiki/index.php/IMLS_Initiatives:_WebWise
Grants: During this brown bag we may also want to discuss whether we will submit another LSTA grant next year, and if so, who will write it. All grant proposals must address the following: Colorado libraries will provide services to support educational achievement and lifelong learning of Colorado residents, people with disabilities, ethnic populations, institutional residents, and those underserved by libraries. http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/lsta/index.htm
