I want to remind everyone to take 30 minutes every week to explore online! No, it isn't "playing". Part of our job is to stay current on the trends in the profession as well as finding new ideas for enhancing our services.
I have been exploring online to find best practices for local history & genealogy departments. The district center is working on an LSTA grant to showcase & enhance the Special Reference & Genealogy Department. There are quite a few organizations involved with the brainstorming process for this project and one of the end results will be a greater collaboration among these organizations.
While exploring online, I found a "Best Practices Wiki" for libraries.
http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Library_Success:_A_Best_Practices_Wiki
It is a "one stop shop for great ideas"; and who of us couldn't use a great idea!?
I have added to link to the "Links" tab at the right.
Also, don't forget that PaLA publishes brochures for "Best Practices" in various categories from around the state. Best Practice doesn't mean complicated or expensive; it is a great idea that took off! Don't hesitate to look to these sources for a great new idea.
