There is a discussion developing on WEB4LIB on What libraries can do to help at a time like this.
So far LC has said \”the Library of Congress and the Congressional Research Service, and all of our librarians, are providing reference and information services and analysis to Congress as they deliberate today and over the coming days on \”What next\”…\”
Other people have said that they are staying open, and answering questions on NYC and The World Trade Center.
I am amazed at how everyone is pulling together on this, it\’s truly amazing. Corporations, individuals, everyone is really doing whatever they can to ease the pain, and help us as a country to move forward.
So what else can libraries do to help? Post your ideas below.
