Updates to the Resources Page

Hi--
Just a note to let you know that I've updated the "Resources" page and divided into sections:
  • The 21st Century Librarian: New Trends Blending with Tradition
  • Webinars and Workshops: Career Development and Continuing Education
  • Employment Resources
There are some spacing issues that I'm working on.  I'll have those fixed in a few days.

The Mission of the 21st Century Library

The 21st Century Library provides:
An environment where learning occurs
A forum in which to form intellectual communities
A place for study and creativity
A collaborative center for learning
State of the art technology for patrons to help them narrow the gap of the digital divide
Research instruction and quality curriculum supporting information sources in the most appropriate formats.
Space, equipment and support for project development of all types.
In broad terms, this is a more specific answer to the post I made about the role of the library a few days ago. This is in regard to academic libraries, but I think these same goals would be appreciated in a public library as well.  I took inspiration from Snow College's Mission Statement.
