Timeline

Since launching this national initiative in March 2011, the Edge coalition has made tremendous progress. In 2012, the Coalition developed and tested the beta benchmarks, incorporated the feedback received for library and local government leaders, and released the Version 1.0 benchmarks in print form in January 2013.

The Edge Benchmarks are the driving force behind the Initiative, but there is so much more in development!  Edge will offer a suite of tools to help libraries communicate results to stakeholders and share the important role libraries play in helping to achieve community priorities. Here's a snapshot of when you will be able to utilize Edge to shape the way you communicate with your stakeholders.
