Gates Foundation and OCLC Announce WebJunction - Marylaine Block, Infotoday
On May 12, representatives from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and OCLC announced the creation of WebJunction (http://www.webjunction.org/), a Web site developed by OCLC through a three-year, $9 million grant from the Foundation “to support anyone working to provide successful and sustainable public access to information and technology.” The site is intended to provide “a community-centered online space to share that knowledge through conversations, online classes, and instructional documents.” ... The site currently offers technology resources, a buying guide, a learning center, and a community where librarians can draw on each other’s knowledge and experience to solve common problems.
