Libraries Build Communities

Libraries Build Communities - a blog that will be used to support a book that Chrystie R. Hill and Steven M. Cohen are writing. The book will deliver to librarians a process-based approach to community building based not only on what libraries have done in the past but ideas for future community building as well (online and off). Using case studies and theories from social network analysis, social capital, and public places, they hope to deliver practical methods for libraries of all shapes and sizes. They will use the blog to help build up case studies, discuss questions for interviewees, and ask advice from readership
