event: 
FREE CONTENT FOR LIBRARY COLLECTIONS
BROADCAST DATE AND TIME: Friday, February 4, 2011, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. Central Time
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
"The Internet offers a treasure trove of free resources that can greatly
expand the range of information and services that libraries can offer
their patrons. But it's not always easy to find the best information to
meet users' needs. In this program, Michael Galloway, Manager, Digital
Collections for ipl2: Information You Can Trust, and John Mark
Ockerbloom, editor of The Online Books Page, will give a tour of some of
the millions of books, magazines, journals, and informative web sites
that can be accessed online for free. They will discuss how they
evaluate and describe online resources to include in their directories,
how readers can find what they need in these directories and elsewhere
online, and how they can distinguish useful information from unreliable
or irrelevant sites. You'll find out how you can integrate free online
resources with your local library offerings in ways that give patrons
better service than either online or print alone can provide. And you'll
also learn how your library and your patrons can contribute to this
growing corpus of knowledge."  -- The College of DuPage
