Library Visioning Process for Wisconsin

Visioning Questions

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=BC6BzOYUsbQZyQGGT7iezw_3d_3d

It has been ten years since Wisconsin government sponsored a statewide conference on the future of library services. Given the advances in technology, changing demographics and service needs of Wisconsin's citizens it is time to engage the library community and citizenry in envisioning a new and exciting future for Wisconsin's libraries and information networks. Toward this aim, Superintendent Burmaster and COLAND are sponsoring a Strategic Visioning Summit & Year of the Library's Future as a focus for 2008.

The Summit will take place in the spring of 2008 and will make recommendations to the Superintendent in time for the 2009/11 budget planning process. Recommendations from the Summit should be submitted to the Superintendent in May 2008.

As part of this process, the planning committee is asking members of the Wisconsin library community (and interested others) to consider and respond to some questions. You are encouraged to respond to as many questions as you wish. Your responses are anonymous and will be used to help define the agenda for the Summit. Thanks for your time and your ideas!

Here are the questions; please use the link at the bottom to respond. Thank you!

1. How will the library of the future contribute to the quality of life in our communities?

2. How will the library of the future contribute to the health of our democracy?

3. How will the library of the future contribute to the educational, economic and workforce development of the future?

4. How will the library of the future contribute to the preservation of the heritage and cultures of our communities?

5. How do we design library services and infrastructure to effectively serve everyone in the community?

6. How do we leverage and maximize the investment in education and library services through cooperation/collaboration?
