*(please excuse cross-posting and feel free to share!)* * * 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!
