WebJunction

WebJunction is an online community of libraries and other agencies sharing knowledge and experience to provide the broadest public access to information technology.

In 2002, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded OCLC Online Computer Library Center a three-year grant to build a web portal for libraries and other organizations that provide open access to technology and information. WebJunction is the result of that effort, thanks to the collaborative work of five organizations: the Colorado State Library, The Benton Foundation, Isoph,TechSoup, and OCLC.

WebJunction content is organized into topic areas that libraries really need, like:

• access support for hardware,
• software,
• connecting to the Internet,
• recognition and prizes for your library's programs,
• the latest in policies and practices for libraries, and
• product reviews and discounts.

You can also build your skills with free or low-cost training.

WebJunction also houses an online community center where librarians and staff come together to discuss, support, and encourage. Unlike other institution- or membership based library services, any individual can register at WebJunction.org (it's free!) and dive into this unique resource.
