Eureka! Leadership Program
General Information

I went to an archived webcast called Public Library Statistics by Ira Bray. I found this interesting because statistics can be so usefull for planning our quickly changing Library World. The webinar offered a 57 minute download, slides, in ppt and paf format and handouts in doc and pdt format.

The other site I looked at was "Library Success: a Best Practices Wiki". My goodness, this site has everything you need to start your own library. Each Category has sections and subsections: a wealth of information for anyone looking to see the way someone else runs their library. This was my favorite site because it has so much information in such a well organized format. You can go to the table of contents and look up any particular area you are interested in quite easily.
