What questions do you have?

NNYLN is planning a library management Q&A webinar similar to the "I Still Don't Want to Talk about It" session at the NYLA Conference. In order to gauge interest, we are asking those interested to provide their questions.

To help keep this anonymous, please do not use any identifying information including your name, staff or patron names, or organization name. During the webinar, the problems will be used to talk about solutions which often include advice on needed library policies.

If someone has asked your question or you see a question that you are interested in, please vote for it (make up a name as it's required for voting). If we get too many questions, we may have to limit how many for the webinar and so will need to know the most popular questions.

* This session is open to all member organizations including museums, systems, historical societies, and other non-library entities.
