The first site I checked out was ResourceShelf. I browsed the latest newsletter and then read these articles: one about the U.S. Government Printing Office recently printing the Federal register on 100% recycled paper, one about the UK public libraries witnessing a spike in their check outs once they started offering ebooks, and one that described the new Microsoft Research database. I think the newsletters could be very helpful resource to keep up on the latest library and research information.
I also checked out a site called Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. The premise of the wiki is that libraries from all over can share programs and practices that they find particularly successful. The hope of the wiki-creators is that it can be a one-stop link, a collection of innovative practices. I looked at the Youth Services link and the Display page. There weren't many entries, but I think this could be a good resource as more libraries use it. It seems fairly new.
