Video über die Rettung einer Bibliothek

Video auf Facebook Studio.: Durch den geschickten Einsatz von Web 2.0-Instrumenten konnte eine Bibliothek in den USA ihre Existenz retten.

"Im Juni 2011 zeigte das Netbib-Weblog ein Fundstück aus dem Jahr 1971 zur Neueröffnung einer Bibliothek in Michigan und erwähnte zugleich, dass die Bibliothek nun von der Schließung bedroht sei."

- Daniel Weger trägt im VÖBBlog die verschiedenen Quellen zu dieser Rettungsgeschichte zusamen.

This a film that we shot and edited in a day.
It is a response to Somerset County Council's decision to close 60% of its library branches and mobile libraries in 2011, including the always busy Glastonbury library.

This is disgusting.

Author Marilyn Johnson on the Queens Library situation

engl., 2:18.

"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]
