Missouri Library Named 2007 Federal Depository Library of the Year

Congrats to everyone at the Middendorf-Kredell Branch of the St. Charles City-County Library on receiving this honor. Well done, congrats, and kudos!

From the news release:

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) named Missouri’s Middendorf-Kredell Branch of the St. Charles City-County Library as the 2007 Federal Depository Library of the Year. Public Printer Robert C. Tapella presented the award to library officials at the annual Fall Federal Depository Library Conference in the nation’s capital. The library is located in a growing and changing area outside of St. Louis. Tapella complimented the library on being one of the first to move to an online environment and provide the public with Government information electronically..."We're certainly not the largest depository, so I like to think that our recognition is tied to our strength of getting library services out to the broader community,” said St. Charles City-County Library District Director Carl R. Sandstedt. “We have tried for years to "knock" the walls out of our buildings and push services throughout the area. We are simply much more proactive in the delivery of services than most public libraries.” The library embraced its responsibility to public service by offering a wide range of programs for the community in the St. Louis area. One of the most successful services is the Community & Market Analysis program. Businesses interested in relocation or expanding in the area can get free, customized analysis for any address.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
