1. CHANNEL WEEKLY TO END ON DECEMBER 18

The Department of Public Instruction's Division for Libraries and Technology (DLT) recently introduced the Wisconsin Libraries blog, offering regular updates of news and information of interest to the entire Wisconsin library community. With the introduction of the blog, the DLT will "sunset" the Channel Weekly e-newsletter. The final issue of Channel Weekly will be published on December 18, 2014. Channel Weekly archives will be accessible indefinitely on the DPI website: http://channel.dpi.wi.gov/.

The Wisconsin Libraries blog, which launched on December 3, features the same types of information familiar to Channel Weekly readers, but with the added bonus of visual content which will be tagged and searchable, allowing readers easier access to posts on topics of specific interest. Channel Weekly readers can subscribe to receive email notifications about new posts on the Wisconsin Libraries blog by visiting the blog site at http://wilibrariesforeveryone.blogspot.com/ and clicking "Follow By Email" on the right-hand side and entering your email address.
