ULC is launching a new collaborative effort among ULC member libraries to highlight how technology
---- one of the library's most valuable resources
---- supports strong communities.
Join us for an informational webinar to learn more about
Edge, the nationally recognized management tool that empowers libraries to assess and improve public technologies. Using Edge, our profession's new leadership tool, we plan to tell our collective technology story to elevate what libraries do to support strong local economies and meet community needs around education, jobs, and health.
This webinar is available only to ULC members and will discuss how Edge works, the benefits of participation, as well as answer any questions you may have about joining the ULC Member Edge Collaborative.
