Subject: RE: How do we define and evaluate success?
Paul Orum defined a vision of success nicely as when '"the public" (regulators, librarians, businesses, citizens, elected officials, employees, health professionals, emergency responders, etc.) can readily obtain through both on-line and local libraries information to answer basic questions. Yet he, as well as Jodi Perras and Glenn Landers, remind us that libraries, and even EPA, are only pieces to that puzzle. Many other organizations will play a role in improved access to information and participation. I'd be interested to hear from librarians and EPA people what role they can play in putting that puzzle together but also from others about what their own organizations can do to meet Paul's vision.
