How can a Web site make a difference in the library systems dysfunctional situation?
AFPLWATCH.com is a method for educating AFPL members, the library profession, local politicians, and the public about the library’s longstanding problems, and for conveniently and quickly alerting these groups to new developments. By providing reliable information (and the historical context) about the causes of the library system’s problems, and by also providing a forum for freely commenting on and discussing these problems, library users, local politicians, and local organizations concerned about the library system (including Friends of the Library groups) can make more informed decisions about how they can advocate for improvements.
