Toronto Public Library Foundation believes that the character and quality of a city depends on the resources available to its people.
A great library is a fundamental requirement for any city to achieve its full social and economic potential.
We believe that Toronto's Library is vital to the City of Toronto, and vital to support.

Trailer of the film "The Library" from openiris on Vimeo.
Et voila: Here is the Trailer for the imaginary feature film "The Library". Due to the lack of good equipment in our University an office chair became our dolly, a cheap plastic tripod our steadycam and Soundbooth had to make up the crappy audio-gear.

When he was a KU student, Emmy winner Chris Martin directed 2003's Library Revolutions, a parody of "The Matrix." Open the red book and see just how far the KU Libraries hthousego.
Two oldies but goodies. These library videos attract attention, are pretty cool and have a professional look. The real next step is to make the sale after marketing the library – get a card, visit the website, do a search, make an appointment . . . a call to action. I wonder how many libraries train front line staff how to respond effectively and build on the marketing efforts that draw people to the library’s goodness?
Before winning an Emmy for his work on "Heroes," then-student Chris Martin wrote and directed 2004's "The Lord of the Libraries" - a tale of action, adventure, and overdue books, parodying "The Lord of the Rings."

Drei Jahre wurde renoviert - jetzt erstrahlt sie im neuen Glanz: die Vatikanische Bibliothek wird wiedereröffnet (Termin: Montag, 20. September). Mit einer Million Büchern und Manuskripten sowie 150.000 Handschriften gehört sie zu den wichtigsten Sammlungen der Welt. Seit mehr als 500 Jahren lassen hier die Päpste alles zusammentragen, was der Mensch über Religion, Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft geschrieben hat. Komplettschließung und Renovierung seien nötig gewesen, um die wertvollen Dokumente besser zu schützen, heißt es. Außerdem habe man bessere und zeitgemäßere Arbeitsbedingungen für Wissenschaftler und andere Interessenten geschaffen. Deutlich verschärft wurden aber auch die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen.
Inspired by the 1978 disco hit "I Will Survive", the lyrics were rewritten to proclaim support for libraries, particularly under the stress of tight budgets. It begins with a send-up of a typically hectic day in the life of a professional librarian.

"Well, after much thought I decided it was best to not do our biweekly podcast any more. Just too much work and not a lot of return - SO, I developed this. I'll be doing more of these and posting them to the SC State Library's YouTube channel. Enjoy!"[via Libraries & Life]
[talk] Dan Greenstein at Survive or Thrive conference from UKOLN on Vimeo. engl., 49:25
I’d like to leave you with a presentation by Dan Greenstien, who gave the opening keynote at the Survive or Thrive conference in June. He encouraged university librarians to think about “what kind of investments institutions will and will not make in their libraries when funding is scarce.” I think this is a question that we will all be forced to answer.[Caroline Williams in: Intute Blog]

"Marilyn Johnson, author of the highly successful book about the state of librarianship "This Book is Overdue," has created a video to express her dismay at the proposed crippling budget cuts planned for the Queensborough Library system this summer. If the plan goes through, many branches would be closed outright or kept open less than half of the week. More than 400 library employees, some in the system since 2000, have been given layoff notices, effective in mid-August. Johnson learned first-hand how bad things were when she spoke to Queens Library employees on May 25. Later that day, a rally was held at City Hall, during which the police kept hundreds of library supporters waiting on the sidewalk, and let them in five at a time" [via LIS News]
"In dem Musical 'The Music Man' ist zwar die Bibliothekarin Marian die einzige, die den Hochstapler und Betrüger Harold durchschaut, am Ende rettet Sie ihn aber doch vor dem Teerfass und den Federn. Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare sind eben doch die besseren Menschen!"[HdM Stuttgart: Link der Woche]
