development opportunities in the best sense of the term! They give staff a solid
framework for problem-solving in today's complex library environment and they
are cost-effective ways for staff to stay current and informed on libraries' use
of technology. You and your staff can maximize these opportunities by bringing a
group of interested staff together to watch; organize discussions about the
impact of the shows' content on your library<SPAN class=303412916-01102009>; and
brainstorm follow-up actions suitable for your library
