Dear Mr. Gaona,
We would like to be able to respond to your question because this is a
subject of great importance to us at BECHS. Would you mind clarifying if
you are referring to starting a Museum Librarian list-serve or are you
referring to starting a group of your local Museum Librarians who could
work with each other? If it is the former, we would be interested in
joining such a list-serve. If it is the latter, I would recommend
looking at the Western New York Library Resources Council (WNYLRC)as an
example.
The Western New York Library Resources Council is dedicated to enhancing
access to information, encouraging resource sharing, and promoting
library interests for its members that serve the people of Western New York.
WNYLRC Vision:
Increase and enhance member services in areas of professional
development, grants, and information access.
WNYLRC Goals:
*To promote and facilitate the expansion of access to information for
all citizens in the region (in collaboration with member libraries and
library systems).
*To promote and enhance resource sharing both formally and informally
among all types of libraries.
*To provide information to and among members.
*To encourage collaboration, coordination and cooperative ventures that
strengthen existing information resources in the region, and identify
and develop new ones.
*To provide opportunities for training and staff development for member
libraries.
*To actively represent the interests of Western New York libraries.
I hope this helps at least a little. Please clarify when you have a
moment, so that I may be able to send a more full response.
Best regards,
Sara LS Lawrence, MLS
Assistant Librarian
