Library Resources
Free Webinar
The Modern Library Awards (MLAs) is an annual program that recognizes excellence in products and services for libraries. Vendors submit entries, which are judged by LibraryWorks readers and webinar attendees — approximately 80,000 librarians in public, academic, K-12, and special libraries — who evaluate each submission based on a scale of 1-10. Each judge must have experience with the product or service rated, and each participating vendor also must provide four references from library users for each entry. The LibraryWorks staff has no influence on the scoring.
Collection Development
Books, Bytes & Beyond is a monthly showcase of new and noteworthy print and non-print releases, including books, periodicals, audio- and e-books, online resources, and video, for acquisitions and collection development librarians.
Technology . Furnishings. Supplies
Each month, Library Products & Services News features best-in-class products for the library community--shelving, furniture, automation, equipment, supplies, and more.
Bids . RFPs
Each week, Library Bid & RFP Alert subscribers receive a comprehensive listing of that week’s solicitations via e-mail. Organized by product or service category, entries include solicitation title and reference number, location of issuing authority, closing date for responses, and a link to the full solicitation document.
