In less than a second, you have hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Web sites that provide you with the information you need.  But how do you discern what information is valuable, and even more importantly, what information is viable?  What information will help you make the best decision for your constituents? 

Where do you turn to sort out this vast information overload?  The answer is simple.  Put an expert to work for you by calling the Montana State Library and talking with one of our skilled information professionals at 444-3016.  Good decisions depend on good information.  We will help you find precisely what it is you need. 

We wanted to let you know that we are here to help with any kind of question.  But we also wanted to welcome you to the 2007 legislative session, and provide you with a “State of Your District” report, compiled by our staff.  The information here comes from quality sources, and provides resources on some of the “hot button” issues of this session:  water rights, land ownership, population growth, education, and much more.  We hope you find it helpful, and if you need more assistance, please call us. 

Before I close, I want to invite all of you to visit the Montana State Library in person so that you can see firsthand all that we offer you and every Montanan with our excellent and dedicated staff, our wide-ranging collection, and our statewide planning for libraries across Montana. 

And remember, it’s an information jungle out there.  Let a librarian be your guide. 

Sincerely,
Darlene Staffeldt
Montana State Librarian
