Though costly subscription-based article databases and e-journals are important tools for students and researchers, an increasing number of quality free scholarly resources are available through the Internet. Finding them, however, is no easy task!
As a service to our Associates and other librarians visiting our website, the Mortenson Center has developed MC Select, a collection of quality online databases available at low or no cost, for research and academic libraries.
Looking for more information about our poster at the 2008 IFLA Congress in Quebec? This was a three-year project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in partnership with Illinois State Library. Institutes for International Library Leadership were held with speakers and participants from all over the world. Feedback was collected at each institute and applied to the format and content of the program. The end result is the forthcoming publication, a guide for libraries to develop their own leadership institutes with an international perspective.
The table of contents are available online. The chapters will be available for download soon. Check back!
You can see more information about the book in our conference poster (PPT), presented at IFLA and ILA 2008.
