Community information (CI) isn't a new concept for libraries. In some communities it's as old as library service itself. When librarians began collecting, maintaining, and delivering CI to patrons, they worked with a variety of nonprofits and other governmental agencies to develop card- or notebook-based systems to connect people with information. Many libraries set up departments to handle referral services. Over the years, libraries have automated the services, harnessing the power and convenience of databases, the Internet, and ever-evolving tools to deliver more information to a wider base of patrons. To do this, libraries are partnering with government agencies, nonprofits, and even for-profit companies to attain and deliver news about and for their communities. The majority of CI services fall into two main categories: online community directories and community calendars. This article discusses the services of CI that are offered by libraries.
