Edudemic posted an article identifying ways to build stronger collaboration among peers. The author,  discusses the benefits to sharing resources and ideas for the purposes of uncovering practical and innovative solutions.  These solutions start with a simple conversation. Noting that it takes more than visually seeing colleagues, suggesting resources to help connect with peers routinely and in meaningful ways. If nothing else, it is a way to measure your work in relation to other libraries. Click here to read Casey-Rowes’ article, 10Web Resources For Becoming A Better Collaborator (September 2013.)
