If you are attending the upcoming Public Library Association Conference next week in Indianapolis be sure to look for the following sessions on the EDGE Initiative. Learn more about EDGE here: http://www.libraryedge.org/ Edge: Where People Connect, Communities Achieve Convention Center - Room: 237-239 - Saturday, 10:30am-11:30am After two years in development, the Edge Initiative recently launched in January. Join us to celebrate this momentous occasion and learn from your colleagues who have participated in the Edge Initiative and are already seeing benefits. During this session, Edge library leaders will share best practices and lessons learned from completing the Edge assessment, utilizing the tools and resources, and engaging with local and community leaders, stakeholders and staff to achieve community priorities. In addition, you will hear how you can participate in this national initiative to assess your current public technology services and outline actionable steps to make improvements and connect more closely with your community priorities. Edge is a groundbreaking, first of its kind management and leadership tool, helping libraries create a path for the continuous growth and development of their public technology services. Through an easy to use suite of tools, Edge supports libraries in making strategic decisions and identifying areas for improvement. The Edge Toolkit gives libraries a look into their local data, from operations to partnerships and programming, to assess how their community is using the technology and how best practices can be put into place to align future growth and services with community priorities. It also provides useful resources to package and showcase the data to other community leaders. If you have questions about the EDGE program, please feel free to contact me directly.
