Someone has finally come up with a nice social tool to help librarians in Atlantic Canada (the maritimes and Newfoundland and Labrador). Ryan Deschamps has used "Ning" to start the Atlantic Librarians group. It looks fairly snazzy and has about 36 members so far.
I am particularly pleased about this as there is still relatively little sharing of professional information across the region. I am not sure why this is so but it amuses my cynical side that the information professionals seem to be so bad at sharing information. There is probably a lesson in that.
