Community First: connecting people & service through the decades  
RSS

Welcome!

The Community First multi-media series captures and highlights historically important stories of individuals, libraries and librarianship as they have connected technology, community, and library service through the decades.

The series has three goals:

  • to share stories unique to the library field
  • to learn from these stories and connect this with what's happening in library service now
  • to deconstruct the myths that participatory library services are entirely new or compromised by lack of skill and expertise

Initial conversations verify that the work of self-styled "2.0" librarians is built on the successes (and failures) of the library professionals who came before them. Learn more about our project in this introduction or join our discussions.

If you'd like to be interviewed, or you'd like to get involved in our project, let us know - all are welcome!
