[Publib] Best Practice - Express Creativity: Create and Share Content

[June Garcia]

The Public Library Association has recently completed a revision of the
Service Responses that are a key component of the Planning for Results
Process.  One of the service responses is Express Creativity: Create and
Share Content

 

This service response is described as follows:

Residents will have the services and support they need to express themselves
by creating original print, video, audio, or visual content in a real-world
or online environment. 

 

PLA wishes to identify libraries which have made this service a priority and
share that information with learners who participate in PLA's online
learning courses. If your web site reflects this service priority and you
would like PLA to highlight the services you provide, please send the URL to
June Garcia at jgarcia at dubberlygarcia.com  

 

Some of the services provided by libraries that offer this service are:

Provide a multimedia production studio with the tools needed to create
animated and live-action videos, record music and audio, and so on.

Provide hands-on classes to teach people to use a variety of media
production tools.

Sponsor writers' workshops and publish the results.

Present concerts, plays, and other performing arts.

Provide access to blogging software for users to create their own blogs.

Host one or more library blogs to encourage users to discuss library-related
issues.

Create one or more library wikis to encourage users to create
library-related content.

Publish an e-zine with user-created content.

Support collaborative cataloging efforts to expand the descriptions of
items.

Allow users to attach reviews to title records in the library database (as
with Amazon.com) or find some other way to make user-contributed book
reviews easily accessible.

Provide media production software programs for public use.

 

Thank you
