From Government Executive:
As lawmakers and the library community continue prodding the Environmental Protection Agency for details about its plans to consolidate the regional EPA library system, one organization has launched a collaborative “wiki” to let federal librarians anonymously air what they know about the changes.
Since the 109th Congress, House Democratic leaders have expressed fears that library documents will become inaccessible as the agency shutters many physical facilities and shifts to a primarily digital library set-up. After the president’s fiscal 2007 budget recommended major cuts in library funding, EPA closed three regional libraries and its headquarters library.
In response to confusion about the EPA’s plans, the American Library Association recently created a Web site that uses wiki software so anyone with an Internet browser can add to or modify information about threatened federal libraries.
