RUSA Looking For Outstanding Library Sites

[Michael Dowling]

To highlight the quality of work that libraries are doing in creating web
sites that assist users the Reference and User Services Association
(RUSA) of ALA is looking for outstanding library sites from all types and
sizes of libraries to showcase and model.

RUSA will be collecting and evaluating sites by service such as: book
discussion; reader's advisory; genealogy; local history; internet tutorials;
e-mail reference; community information; senior sites; on-line newsletters;
kid's pages and more.

If your library has created an outstanding web service that you think
should be considered as an example for other libraries, or if you have
come across a library site that you thought was outstanding we'd like to
hear from you.

RUSA will be evaluating sites in the coming months.  A number of
oustanding sites for each services and type of library will be included in a
new web site as models,  and will be highlighted in a nationwide
promotional piece showcasing the variety and quality of work that
libraries are doing to help users.

If you have a site or sites to submit send the URL's to Michael Dowling,
Deputy Executive Director, RUSA at mdowling at ala.org.

Thank you for your help!
