Credo Reference’s Libraries Thriving (www.librariesthriving.org) and Against
the Grain’s Multi-Grain (www.against-the-grain.com/multigrain) are
wondering: Are libraries thriving? Because there are such solid arguments on
both sides, Libraries Thriving and Multi-Grain have decided to team up to
consider the whole picture. They are sponsoring an Oxford-style live debate,
including audience participation and voting, at the upcoming Charleston
Conference (http://www.katina.info/conference/). In preparation for the live
debate, you’re invited to join the conversation going on now.



So are libraries thriving? If you say yes, head over to Multi-Grain to join
those in proposition (
http://www.against-the-grain.com/2011/10/multigrain-discussion-are-libraries-thriving/).
If you say no, post your arguments in the Libraries Thriving forum for those
in opposition (link here). Then, if you’re also interested in participating
in the live debate but unable to attend the Charleston conference, register
for an online seat (https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/863592529) for the
chance to watch and participate remotely. Let the discussion begin!
