This wiki is defunct! It is no longer active!

The "official" LSW site (http://thelsw.org/) is the place to go to sign up and be a LSW hero. There's also a lot of LSW action on FriendFeed (http://friendfeed.com/lsw).

Come join us on our new site: http://thelsw.org/

Welcome to the wiki for the Library Society of the World! By joining the Society, you are joining a world-spanning group of library professionals and library advocates, dedicated to furthering the role of librarians, archivists, information professionals, and information educators through communication and collaboration. The LSW is about people, not buildings (although some of us think architecture is sexy). It's about friendship, not organization. It's about creating and fostering opportunities, not building barriers and divisions.

Joining and participating in the LSW costs nothing besides time and energy.

This wiki will be used to develop the ideas, programs, alliances, and Policies of the LSW. Some of us even used it to do a presentation at CIL08!

This wiki was started by Joshua M. Neff, but he doesn't have the final say in any of this.

For further communication, socializing, and development, use the LSW Meebo Room, the FriendFeed room, the Facebook page, the Flickr group, the LibraryThing group, the Tangler discussion forum, the LinkedIn Group, and the Google Calendar.

You might want to read this introduction to the Meebo Room if you're a newcomer just to get a sense of the place.

New: Place yourself on the Map!

Newer: Join the Last.fm Group!

Newest: Get yourself some merch, particularly of the cod kind!

Whatever you do, don't click here during your presentation!
