Les bibliothèques de quartier relèvent la tête
Gabriel Béland
La Presse
Le déclin de la lecture, l'apparition du livre électronique et la construction de la Grande Bibliothèque faisaient craindre le pire. Certains prédisaient le déclin des bibliothèques de quartier. Mais les dernières statistiques prouvent le contraire: elles se portent mieux. Et si la Grande Bibliothèque leur avait montré la voie?

Human Library Program coming to Ottawa
Vous avez peut-être lu cet article dans les journaux aujourd'hui?
The Ottawa Public Library is working to launch its own version of the Human Library, a program where users can "sign out" people from different backgrounds for a conversation.

Great Link: 5 Library Sources for Quick Computer Training

J'ai bien apprécié numéros 1 et 2.
5 Library Sources for Quick Computer Training
It’s hard to find good online technology tutorials, especially those for quick and basic computer skills. Harder still to find some that meet our high expectations as information professionals. So why not turn to the library world itself?
Below is a collection of my top 5 favorite sites for these quick computer training materials. These could be webinars, class handouts, tutorials, screencasts, you name it. What’s important is the content. It’s content I’m comfortable pointing a customer or a fellow staff member to if some core computer fundamental skills need improving. Weirdly, two institutions get two mentions apiece — but that’s because what they have is awesome. Browse through what they have, and you might be surprised to find there’s something there for you too!

Get rid of the reference desk?!
The Library at McMaster University has done away with their reference desk and introduced "blended services" which allow their patrons to go to one desk for all their library needs - circulation and reference.
You can read about it at these two posts from the McMaster Library blog: Reference Desk - GONE and More on the Reference Desk is Gone
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Or, at the risk of being overly dramatic here, is this the end of the world? How important is a separate reference desk at an academic library?
