More HPL 2010 Project Goodness

While the project's initial run-through may be over, if you missed out the opportunity is now here to see what it was all about.  Also, even if you did go through the 10-week project but didn't do all the exercises, you can now go back to any week you wish and try something you skipped.  The modified site will remain active through the end of 2010.

The link to the 2010 Project website is here.

Things to note about the re-vamped site:

1)  There are no more "Report your progress" links.  This is because the reporting feature was our way of keeping track of who was eligible for the contest.

2)  Speaking of contests, they are over.  The real reward though, is the knowledge contained in the project, right?

3)  No one will be monitoring links listed in the "Related Resources" sections (or the main activities for that matter).  If something becomes unavailable, we are sorry but you will just have to move on.  The Internet is littered with good ideas that just couldn't sustain themselves.

4)  The HPL 2010 Project is now truly self-starting and self-paced.  No more gently encouraging emails but also no more deadlines.

Finally, a HUGE "Thank You!" to everyone who participated in the project.  This includes library patrons, library staff, and especially Kristine, the creator and driving force behind the Project.  We learned so much from the participants that will be useful in designing classes, services, and special activities, I can't even begin to describe it.
