Summary:
A community in San Francisco worked to create a resource guide in several languages that would help connect people of all walks of life to services they may need and otherwise have a hard time finding on their own. While the local library of this community was not involved with the actual creation of the document itself, it was a central meeting place and distribution location for the volunteers who did put it together. The guide is available both online and in print.
Analysis:
This guide was created through the use of both Google Docs and Google Slides - which reminded me a lot of this class and the collaborative nature of it. A free community resource guide would be a valuable offering for any library to offer. Compiling this information into one easy to reference guide is a great idea and well worth the effort to put together. The non-profit organization that worked on this project also offers tips on how to create such a resource in a library, which can be found here: http://www.techsoupforlibraries.org/.
