Today at the Illinois Library Association’s annual conference, WebJunction Illinois was publicly unveiled at a ribbon cutting ceremony. Community Partner team leads Dawne and Lisa were joined by our very own Rachel, Lisa, and Kevin – giving WJ-IL a great kick off!

The WJ-IL home page looks great (check out the video and the toolbar -first WJers to do these!). We’re excited about all the ways the IL State Library has customized their WJ service for library staff there, and we really look forward to working with them to build out our online communities for library staff development. We expect our work with IL to not only push us forward with new tools and formats, but also provide a model for delivering online community services through a single spot for the whole state.

Congrats to the state library and especially to Dawne and Lisa – you’ve worked hard and it shows!! Welcome to WebJunction – we’re glad you’re here!
