Tour the Editorial Library of
The Columbus Dispatch
Join the Central Ohio Chapters of Special Libraries Association and the Association for Information Science and Technology (SLA Central Ohio and COASIS&T) as we continue our “Summer of Tours” by visiting the Editorial Library at the Columbus Dispatch.
What types of information and systems does a news library (and a newspaper) use? We will answer that question by looking at the information systems, tools and physical facilities of the editorial library at The Columbus Dispatch. The Dispatch uses a variety of open source tools to build and present the Dispatch’s editorial intranet. Come and see what is involved in providing research information to a news organization.
