The Libnet email list is moving from a Marmot server to a State Library server on Thursday, December 15th and will be unavailable from 10am to noon on that day. What you need to know:
- The change will happen automatically; you will not need to resubscribe, and all archived messages from the “old” Libnet will still be available for viewing.
- The address for sending Libnet messages will change from libnet@marmot.org to libnet@cvl-lists.org. Please update your address books after noon on Thursday.
- Libnet’s information page will change from http://email.marmot.org/mailman/listinfo/libnet to
http://www.cvl-lists.org/mailman/listinfo/libnet.
- The only noticeable change to Libnet after the move will be an enhancement: it will accept HTML formatted email messages (bold, different fonts, etc.).
Please direct any questions to Jim Duncan, Director of Networking & Resource Sharing at the Colorado State Library.

After more than a year of hard work by the Networking & Resource Sharing team of the State Library, the new Colorado Virtual Library (CVL) will be launched sometime during the week of 10/10 with 3 content collections (and more to come):
- Colorado Histories
- Tech Help
- Tools for Tough Times
There is much more work to be done, because the CVL will never truly be done. It is designed to be ever-changing, evolving, and improving. We hope you love it, but of course are open to constructive criticism.
Stay tuned!
The Colorado State Library and the Colorado Library Consortium hosted a two day forum for new library directors. We had 17 attendees who traveled from all over the state to Buena Vista while viewing a mixture of snow and yellow aspens.
Lots of information was shared, and everyone had several chances to network including at a reception at the Buena Vista Library, thanks to Gail Nottingham. 
Jeff Donlan inspired us to think about collaboration in terms of haiku and here are some of the creations. Continue reading ‘New Directors Forum…and Haiku’

As of January 2009, Merino Elementary School has a new library. Denise Everhart, the Merino Elementary librarian, was so excited about the new facility that she sent along some photos to share.
(Previously, the entire library and 26 computers were stuffed into one average-sized classroom, so she is delighted with the space.)
