Dear colleagues worldwide,

the Bertelsmann Foundation Germany is searching for international experts in 
electronic
media and the internet in public libraries.

The Bertelsmann Foundation is funding public libraries for over ten years 
now in Germany,
Spain and Egypt. Due to the changing role of libraries and new ways of 
providing service
to patrons we are are planning to develop an overall concept for the 
successful and user-
oriented integration of electronic media (CD-ROM, Software), Online-Services 
and the
Internet into the service of the public libraries we support.

If you feel that you have worked out an innovative concept which has been 
successfully
implemented and your public library has:

 - a vision of the future of print and non-print media in public libraries
 - a concept on how to integrate electronic media and the internet into 
mission and role of
   your public library
 - a concept on how to offer these services in a user-friendly way
 - a concept on how to offer these services for children
 - an overall idea of mission, economic effectiveness, user-orientation and 
staff development

and if you would like to share your ideas with us, making them part of an 
innovative
"think-tank"  - please feel free to send me a letter, fax or mail.

It would be a great help if you would pass on this message to colleagues you 
know who
have reached outstanding results with their ideas and are not taking part in 
this listserv-
forum.
