ACRL's Effective Practices Clearinghouse is now ready to accept your submissions
The goal of the Effective Practices Clearinghouse is to recognize effective practices in academic libraries in areas such as programs, services, facilities, technology, and initiatives and share them so they are accessible to academic librarians and the entire education community.
This is a wonderful project, just getting off the ground. I don't have any experience to prove otherwise, but I get the distinct impression that thos in the information professions are much more willing to share their experience and expertise with others. Perhaps it is because one library doesn't compete with another library the same way that one auto manufacturer competes with another auto manufacturer. Perhaps it is because our relationship with our patrons is all about sharing information. Whatever the reason, the level of cooperation is a beautiful thing.
