The primary purpose of this blog is to keep the staff of the Lee County Library System aware of new materials arriving in the Professional Collection. My hope is that staff members will use this blog space to find and share ideas that will enhance their experiences of service and benefit each other and our patrons.

New Book
- Public Libraries and Internet Service Roles: Measuring and Maximizing Internet Services by Charles R. McClure and Paul T. Jaeger
FYI: "According to experts Charles McClure and Paul Jaeger, the Internet has had more impact on public libraries than any other technology since the creation of the book. It may not alter the fundamental nature the the public library, but there is no question that the Internet is changing the roles and expectations of public libraries." - from the back cover
Additionally, the References section is extensive and many of the sources listed are available electronically.

NPR Library Blog
"National Public Radio's library has started As a Matter of Fact (www.npr.org/blogs/library), a blog covering 'everything from pop-culture in-sanity and weird pronunciations to the history of NPR and libraries in the news.'"
I have added the link to the Interesting Blogs sections.
