5. Impacting Communities

Three vivid presentations described ways in which library publishing can perform a service with high community impact for a smaller-scale undertaking, including examples from Nigerian politics [Fallon], Irish community-building [Connolly/Walker-Headon] and the changing status of the ‘travelers’ in Irish society [Buggle]

6. Global Collaborations

The final substantive presentations addressed a variety of ways in which partnership and connections can facilitate local activity, from consortial activity [Meinecke] to links among libraries [Murphy/Chatterji], standardized-technology [Arning], and work deliberately reaching for global scale [Hollister].

7. Panel Discussion

 

The meetings concluded with a broad discussion with Marie O'Neill (chair), Okerson, Cohen, Egeland, Schlosser, Brennan, and Stadler, followed by a brief focused wrap-up.
