Sharing Expertise: Creative Libraries Utah

Brenda Hough 5 August 2013 - 10:46am

Sharing expertise is the guiding philosophy behind TechSoup for Libraries. We exist to help libraries share with one another and, therefore, not need to "recreate the wheel". This week, we'd like to feature an innovative new site that shares this value. Creative Libraries Utah provides a way for libraries across Utah to share and use library created content and expertise.
