Libraries Thriving Learning Community—Fall 2011

Organized by Credo Reference and LYRASIS

 **Applications due September 20**


Could you use a sounding board for a project at your institution that you
have always wanted to accomplish?



Would you like to join a community where colleagues challenge and support
one another's learning and growth toward shared e-resources goals?



Do you want to engage in conversations and actions—to become critical
colleagues—to transform what it means to have a thriving library?





If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are ready to become a
member of a professional learning community organized by Credo Reference and
LYRASIS.



The Libraries Thriving Learning Community invites us to think about and
engage on key current issues with the aim of developing approaches,
solutions and responses that demonstrate the effectiveness of individual
library professionals as well as libraries’ effectiveness within the
institutions of which they are a part. From October through December 2011
community participants will engage in a variety of interactions, primarily
online, with occasional in-person meetings, to explore and experiment with
the kinds of individual and institutional actions needed for libraries to
thrive. Sharing a vision for collaborative, creative, and
positively-focused libraries and library professionals, Credo Reference and
LYRASIS are providing facilitation and technical support for this unique
community.
