On December 23, 2008, I posted an entry titled "Resources for Libraries: Your Library System" where I gave a very brief overview of the Alliance Library System & the services it provides for its members. In that entry, I mentioned that ALS was one of nine multitype library systems in Illinois.
The systems work together on various efforts, and the directors of the systems meet periodically to reach concensus and provide a common direction for the nine systems.
A useful website that they created can be found at www.ilsdo.org. Some items that I find of interest include:
- The 2009-2011 strategic plan laid out by the directors: www.ilsdo.org/downloads/ILSDOStrategicPlan2008.pdf
- A two year calendar of important legal dates and deadlines of interest to Illlinois libraries: www.ilsdo.org/se_daystoremember.html
- Information on the Fund for Illinois Libraries - allowing libraries to receive contributions from donors that contribute solely to non-profit organization holding IRS 501(c)(3) status: www.ilsdo.org/se_fund.html
- A list of Library Related Acronyms for those of us who are not librarians: www.ilsdo.org/se_acronyms.html
