Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted about the Law
Libraries and Librarians Ning network, but it hit the
500-member milestone. Yippee! :-)
Ning members are mostly from the U.S., but also Canada, Italy,
Taiwan, Portugal, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom,
Germany, Hong Kong, Brazil, Pakistan, the Netherlands, and France.
This Ning was established by Jim Milles for social networking
for law librarians and friends of law libraries. It has
several great professional development (and networking)
features.
You can post photos and videos as well as initiate and
participate in Forum discussions, post blogs, and chat. You
are encouraged to include all your Web 2.0 and other social
networking contact infos in your profile. You can also post
to friends' profile pages or email them directly. Various
multimedia ways of sharing professional information and
networking with friends and colleagues.
Any member can post information about upcoming events.
Presently, two webinars on libraries and social software and
SERU (Shared Electronic Resource Understanding) are featured.
As well as the upcoming workshop in D.C. on technical
services middle management success.
There are 14 sub-groups within the network, including
Information Literacy in Law, GenX GenY Caucus, Sci-Fi Law
Librarians, Bloggers, Second Life Law Librarians, Court
Librarians, Law Librarians in Florida, Consultants &
Freelancers, and LLOPS. You can post messages to the group
page or directly via email.
Check out the Law Libraries and Librarians Ning network for
the first time or if you haven't done so in a while (lots has
changed!).
Ciao,
Lyo.
