Visited the IMLS website lately? What’s new, you ask? Well just this week a press release announced the launch of UpNext, a wiki dedicated to a discussion of the future of libraries and museums. UpNext is a platform created to allow interested folk to engage in conversation around the recently published Future of Museums and Libraries: A Discussion Guide. The IMLS plans to use your comments and observations to shape future policy–so if you want to make a difference, you can sign up here and join in the conversation. You can find the discussion guide and other relevant publications on the resources page of the IMLS website.
Oh…and if you are already busy planning your schedule for AAM 2010 in Los Angeles there will be a session dedicated to the discussion guide chaired by UCLA Librarian Dr. Gary Strong. Mark your calendars for Monday May 24, 9-10:15, sponsored by CALM, the Joint National Committee for Archives, Libraries, and Museums.
