Colorado Libraries

When we take calculated risks with the intention of improving our communities we cannot fail. To quote one Colorado educator, if we fail, at least we fail forward.

Guest Editors: Annie Epperson, UNC LIbraries & Amy Phillips, Colorado Technical College

Announcing the first issue of the New Colorado Libraries! We hope you enjoy this issue, which features articles created from sessions from the Colorado Association of Libraries Annual Conference (CALCON) 2011, held in Loveland back in October. Moving forward, the first issue of each volume of Colorado Libraries will feature top content from CALCON.

The Colorado Libraries editorial staff are pleased to present issue 35.4, guest edited by Karen Sobel of the University of Colorado Denver's Auraria Library. The theme for 35.4 is "Great Librarians in the Making." This issue marks the last of the content that was planned before the publishing hiatus in 2009, which marks an important milestone in our transition from print to online!

Love books? Like writing? Looking for a way to get involved with CAL? Colorado Libraries is looking for a few good book reviewers to help connect our readers with the best new works in the field! Whether you already have a special book in mind, and want to share your thoughts, or just want to help us wade through the pile of review copies we regularly receive, we'd love to hear from you. Really. We currently have more books than reviewers!

The Colorado Libraries editors are seeking CAL member input in selecting the four themes for the quarterly issues of volume 36. What are the burning issues in librarianship in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region that you would like to see explored in issues 36.1-36.4?
