As another Megan going through a career transition into librarianship, I appreciated your reflections on what you want from the next step in the work you do. I have little doubt you’ll follow Casey’s sign and look forward to hearing about your next step.

What real and realistic outcomes is “the library” looking for?

Yes, and… Nice!

The long tail for libraries made me think about the shared print project my library is participating in with other libraries as a part of SCELC. Where the last print of a copy will be retained by at least one of the participating libraries, so that we don’t lose that document.

@maryfinn I was about 10 pages into Anderson’s book when I had the ah-ha moment! The hardest part of this review was trying to funnel every idea down and not write another book! Even after the module readings this week, I had more ideas on how to engage the Long Tail… maybe another post! ~C

Even after reading, I wasn’t sure I fully got it. But, after reading your post I know totally understand the concept and the illustrations that you provide helped. Thanks for the post!

Maybe electronically one day? I know some already include collections on open source. I like the idea of expanding lib guides for niche groups. Well done.

Thank you for putting up a link to your PDF tool. Can you please double check the links, they are not working.
I would love to use your idea in our library! Thanks,
