The SPP hosted the first Shared Print Water Cooler Conversation on Thursday, August 20th. Seventeen librarians representing eleven SPP member organizations joined this informal conversation to get to know fellow shared print enthusiasts, discuss current topics of interest in shared print, and think about ideas to answer questions and solve problems in shared print work. It was an exciting start to what will be a series of monthly meetings hosted by the SPP. These water cooler conversations are open to anyone who works at an SPP member program or who works at a library that is a member of one of our member programs. If you are a part of the SPP membership and want to receive updates about these conversations, please visit our google groups page to sign up for the listserve, or write to Laura Aydelotte at laydelotte@clir.org to be added to future invites.
