Florida Snapshot Day is January 25th

To get a grand picture of what good things libraries do every day, the Florida Library Association is asking all Florida libraries to collect usage statistics and take photos of what they do on January 25, 2011 (or another day of that week).
Many public libraries will be participating (see the list) as well as some academic libraries. My library will be participating on January 26th. We won’t have a specific event but will be taking pictures and gathering, hopefully, many comments. I still have a little bit of time to think of good ways of doing that.
Snapshot Days are part of a national effort set forth by ALA. I think it’s a good way to illustrate the contributions of libraries in a concrete manner.

As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services. I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe. A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere. I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
