Getting Started - BCOER Strategy Document
The purpose of this document is to provide generic items that could be incorporated into any library’s policies, procedures, or strategic planning documents. In most cases, libraries will need to modify these components before using them, but they can provide some inspiration for ensuring openness is a central part of your library’s future.

24 Seconds that changed the game● November 22, 1950, the Pistons defeated
the Lakers 19-18 in the lowest scoring game in NBA history
● Shot clock Introduced by Danny Biasone, owner of the Syracuse Nationals
● Biasone arrived at 24 seconds by calculating the number of shots two teams might take during a game, then dividing that number by 48 minutes of play.
● Adoption of the clock is known as one of the most important developments in NBA history.
