Keeping a State Library Open

The cover story for the May 2008 SLA Information Outlook magazine is "Keeping a State Library Open," about how the Washington State Library survived a governor's call to close it. Author Duane McCollum recounts how the state library came to be threatened and what leaders did to restore its relevancy. (SLA members should be receiving Information Outlook in their mail soon. The May issue will also be available to members online at the SLA website, under Publications.)

The SLA Government Information Division is pleased to feature the work of the Washington State Library in our annual conference program, "Cutting-Edge E-Preservation—Washington State's Digital Archives," on Tuesday, 17 June 2008, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Convention Center room 617.
(Thanks to the program sponsor, ProQuest!)
