Engaging the Community and more at LLN
What’s up at the new Library Leadership Network (LLN)?
New and updated articles and the transition
- More than five dozen articles completely moved from the old LLN, with light updates in several cases. (Any time an article’s completely moved, there’s a link in place of the old article.)
- Kindle and Ebook Reader Notes now includes the Sony Pocket Reader in the comparison table and has updated prices, specs and commentary on current ebook readers.
- Engaging the Community: Beyond the Website is a brand-new article, currently combining two commentaries by Jamie LaRue and a new one by Jill Hurst-Wahl.
- Long and the Short of It–the only Letter from the Editor we currently plan to move to the new LLN–has been updated to include current figures
- All 25 of the most widely read articles from October 9 through November 8 are now completely moved to the new LLN; we’re working on the 25 other most widely read over time.
Leader’s Digest
New items on social media trends for 2010, local book search from LibraryThing, getting the most from your best employees–and the ongoing question of whether people will pay for online content.
Short Week, No Post
For Canadian and other non-U.S. readers: This is Thanksgiving week, making it a three-day week. Since we’re mostly working on cleaning up articles as they move to the new platform, we’ll skip a week on these posts. Look for a new post on December 7–or check Read & Learn at the new LLN from time to time, where you’ll find a “New in Read & Learn” section that’s equivalent to the What’s New page in the old LLN.
Meanwhile, happy holidays.
