WebJunction

We have accomplished most of the outreach activities we set initially at Deschutes Public Library (DPL.) WebJunction workshop DPL participants have introduced WebJunction's SLO site at most of DPL's branch/department staff meetings-those that we didn't get to in the last few months will be addressed in the near future. 27 community leader interviews have been conducted since August, 2007. DPL has reached 3 Youth Services Agencies; 1 Women Centers; 1 Organizations of /for people with disabilities; 1 Miscellaneous organization; 8 Educational Organization; 3 Family Services agency; 1 Community Service agency and 2 Businesses while conducting the interviews. DPL also developed and filmed a video to aid Spanish speaking patrons completing a library card application We will probably revise a bit before releasing but we believe it will be a useful resource for patrons and staff. Oh and just recently we held DPL's 2nd annual El día de los niños event with a turnout of 500 people! Many of the organizations that we conducted community leader interviews with participated in the event. Lots more to do but we've accomplished quite a bit in just the few months since our November, 2007 workshop!
