The Different Aspects of a Library Collection Conference

In this week’s Conference, August 10th, we will be looking at your comments to my blog post “Customers do not want to return research materials”  When some students are shown how to use the public library, they are either late in returning the book or they never return the book and keep it for themselves.  Some special libraries and archives have also experienced their own staff “hording” books and hiding them in their offices.  In both scenarios, these customers have started to create their own personal libraries that no one else could use.   Article Link: http://www.asynconf.com/2015/08/what-can-be-done-to-get-library.html

On August 17th,the conference’s topic will be focused on your comments to “Can One Size fitAll-What is a Library?”  Article Link will post on the second week for the AsynConf (Asynchronous Conference).

Finally, on the third week of the conference, August 24th, the conference’stopic will be focused on your comments on how to prevent information illiteracy.  Article Link will post on the third week for the AsynConf (Asynchronous Conference).
