Subject: [WEB4LIB] What libraries can do to help


> I have been trying to think how libraries might help their user
communities
> in response to the attacks yesterday.  I am helping by providing links to
> information resources I have found or that have been sent to me.  I
started
> with links from the Tourbus service sent to me by Jo Anne Ellis of SUNY
ESF
> at Syracuse University.  I am then adding others as I find them.
> The URL is: http://www.morrisville.edu/library/timely.html
>
> Other things we can do:
> - listen to your patrons.
> - provide a safe haven away from the news if it is needed.
> - stay open to provide normality.
> - be human and admit your own responses.
> - share news and information sources with other libraries and librarians.
>
> Any other suggestions are welcome.
