TechSoup for Libraries (love these guys, if you are not a regular follower or user of their resources, I would strongly encourage you to be) covers some best practises for mobile computer labs in their latest Edge Initiatives benchmarks. In this post, they look at a number of success stories:

* Poudre River Public Library District (Fort Collins, CO), where their suitcase lab brings training into people's living rooms,

* Lamar Public Library (Lamar, CO) serving a rural population of approx 8,000 people in se

Colorado

* Free Library of Philadelphia (PA), with their shiny Techmobile and community Hotspots.

Future of Libraries via the Knight Foundation - 10 video interviews

Future of Libraries via the Knight Foundation - 10 video interviews | SocialLibrary | Scoop.it
From knightfoundation.org - March 9, 2012 8:36 PM

"During a Knight conference exploring the role of libraries in the digital world, we interviewed library directors from eight communities - Philadelphia, St. Paul, Macon, Charlotte, Miami, Akron, San Jose and Detroit - to ask these questions and more.

Hear what library directors from these communities say are their biggest successes and listen to insights in how they’re addressing challenges.

In these videos, library directors also share what projects they’ve developed to help better serve their communities. The Free Library of Philadelphia, for example, was able to involve itself more deeply in communities by creating hot spots in areas with limited digital access."

 

Interviews with:

James Crawford, Google Books
Siobhan A. Reardon, Philadelphia
Kit Hadley, Saint Paul
Thomas Jones, Macon
Karen Beach, Charlotte
Raymond Santiago, Miami
David Jennings, Akron
Jane Light, San Jose
Doug Dotterer, Stow-Munroe
Juliet Machie, Detroit
