[WEB4LIB] Community Projects

[Michelle Rempel]

Thanks to everyone who has responded.  You've provided me with some great 
information.  Has anyone done something a bit more local - say a 
partnership between municipal government, local colleges and universities 
and the public library system?  For the people that have done "community 
portals" do you have competing portals created by businesses for your state 
or city?
