I’ve tried to gather all the information and links I could find, related to relief efforts specifically targeted at the library community. I’ll also include information about museums and archives. Pass along whatever else you know about here, via email or at Tinfoil + Raccoon.

Librarian to the Rescue!
THANK YOU ! Rochelle for gathering all these important sites together…this has probably just begun!
Everything’s in chaos, people are putting out pleas for help all over the place, and what does a librarian do? We create order from chaos and
get everything together in one place!
You’ve taken the initiative to get us the info we need to help our colleagues and done one of the things we excel at…finding, gathering, communicating vital information!…and you’ve made LisNews the important single source point for that information!
Thank you!

Re:Librarian to the Rescue!
You’re welcome. After being ghoulishly glued to CNN for several days, I figured it was time to make my contribution. It’s been truly wonderful, but not surprising, to see so many in our community–library, tech, and blogging–pull together and accomplish SO MUCH without being in the same room together. Beautiful!
