Internet Librarian 2017

ROI Magic Sauce: Communities, Collections, Collaboration

There IS a winning combination for Internet Librarians and their communities where the return on investment (ROI) is substantial.  The magic includes our communities, our collections and how we work with both of those – close collaboration!  This year we explore our relationship with 

• our communities -- our customers, partners, suppliers and supporters
• our collections – our print and electronic materials, both in-house or global, as well as our supporting and experimental technologies
• our collaboration – our relationships and partnerships with our core communities as well as the broader world-wide information and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) industries 

Internet Librarians have been at the focal point of their communities for many years whether on an academic campus, in a city or county, part of a non-profit or corporate organization, in a school, museum or government department.  Today’s Internet Librarians extend their reach, partner with traditional and non-traditional colleagues and agencies, build global networks, and enable their members and customers to thrive in a digital world.
