*Librarian Effective Practices Clearinghouse

Effective Practices Clearinghouse accepting submissions

How many times have you thought to yourself, "someone else in another library MUST have already figured out a better way to do this"? ACRL's Effective Practices Committee may have an answer for you. The Committee, charged by ACRL to devise a method for recognizing effective practices in academic libraries and sharing them with ACRL members and other interested librarians, has developed a Web-based clearinghouse for effective practices in academic libraries. The scope of the clearinghouse will span all areas of library programs, services, facilities, technology, and initiatives. Librarians submit their effective practices directly to the ACRL Web site. Practices are then reviewed to see if they meet the criteria listed above. Once accepted, ACRL will post the practice on the Web site and send the submitting library a letter acknowledging its contribution to the Effective Practices clearinghouse. The Committee's goal is to be inclusive rather than exclusive. Librarians looking for ideas to improve specific practices in their own libraries or just shopping for good ideas will be able to browse by category and (eventually) search by keyword. We invite you to visit ACRL's Effective Practices Web site and submit your own effective practice. The URL is http://www.ala.org/acrl/ep/.
