—– The Electronic Resources and Libraries Conference takes place Febrary 28-March 2 in Austin, TX, and I’m SO honored to be a keynote speaker! Libraries, whether associated with a school, government, agency or geography, serve a community. The keynote will focus on “Libraries: The Oldest New Frontier for Innovation”.

I’m the grandfather of an expensive preemie, so I was incensed by his proposal that AOL employees should be penalized to cover such unanticipated increases in healthcare costs. Or had he suggested we debate “how to manage in times of scarce resources” there would have been no controversy. What a creep! He’s a tyrant!

Over the next month, we’d welcome your input on our thoughts, what we are proposing to change or add, and what we plan to keep. This will be our opportunity to inform them of our work over the last years, and to present to them our proposed program strategy moving forward into the next five years.

I was asked by marketing to submit a full proposal to them about Facebook and get their approval before going forward and for anything I post to the group. Does this sound like you and your nonprofit organization? The young professionals group revolted. They are now using Facebook on their own.

So, you would think that the most pressing skill to build is in revenue generation, like fundraising , government grants, or fee-for-service programs. For any gift, whether that from direct mail or a foundation proposal, you need all three. It may not be as hard as it sounds. Simply put: if they care, they’ll give. .

But even then, training in fundraising could be effective and based on sound principles. If we’re just talking about methods, there’s major gifts, bequests and trusts, corporate relations, grant proposals, direct mail, social media, virtual and in-person events. The Science of Giving. were published in 2015. Even more so.

I’m in Austin, TX, today engaging with librarians, digital curators, and technologists working at the nexus of communities and knowledge at the Electronic Resources and Libraries annual conference. That may sound simple, like “my town, or my campus, or my organization.” Who’s the community?

So there are some things like that that you might want to consider, especially if you’re maybe looking into government grants. Some of the funding is going to go to the state’s local government, so just to be mindful of all of those things, especially when you start thinking about what you can do in-house to prepare.

I will be moving at a nice clip and I will be, at the end of the webinar, sharing some free resources. Donors and community members aren’t looking for you to be the best, they want to see that you are the best steward of resources. And we partner with them for those services, and our energy and resources are focused on the gaps.”

You can go to our website, there’s all kinds of videos and resources you can check out there to get to know us a little bit more. I often think of engagement as crossing over all of these areas, from fundraising to your programs to, you know, community-based advocacy, government relations. Who could you engage with?

I know we were on earlier for our sound check, but I hear a little bit of a buzzing sound. MS means I have a Master’s of Science in natural resource management. It sounds so impersonal. Government grants, which include state and U.S. Margit: Thank you, Steve. I will do that. One quick thing. So here we go.

Thousands of government institutions are already using digital participation platforms. Digital participation platforms can help you make better decisions online, but they can also reinforce inequities and take up excessive time and resources. While the promotional materials all sound impressive, don’t believe everything you read.

The book’s case studies offer us hope and inspiration for urban dwellers – that if we put people at the center – not markets, technology, or government – that people can meet their own needs by sharing resources. And, the paperback version includes a library card inside the back cover to encourage sharing.

Museum 2.0

JULY 14, 2008

The IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services) has commissioned a preliminary proposal for an NAS (National Academy of Sciences) report on museums and libraries in the 21st century. This sounded appealing until I realized that he was not willing to acknowledge other non-scholarly authorities … which sounds authoritarian to me.
