The Task Force worked as a team to 'define' what we call Value Categories, some with sub categories. See the side bar menu items to these.
Each page will consist of at least the following sections:
- What is this? This is a brief description of what that Value Category entails.
- Task-force Recommendations: Our Task-force is offering up some guidance! Take it, leave it, or apply it how YOU see fit
- Top Resources: This is where you'll find either a reference to a top Task-force recommended book, document, or link
- Give me an Example! : This is a very brief, and hopefully practical, example of one way to apply this value-added resource or tool to your Library
