Allison Higgins added a discussion to the group Archivists With Passion
Welcome
Welcome to Archivists With Passion, my new group for those interested in pursuing an archival career. I'm a San Jose State University student concentrating in Archives and Records for my MLIS degree. I'm interested in hearing about archival career ideas and connecting with others who share the same passion I do. I'm sure there are many of you on this site who are like me. Feel free to talk about anything you want.See More

News and Messages
Welcome to LISNing, a social network site for any information student to linger.
This network was created to support distance students around the world, irrespective of the institution they study at or the particular focus of their studies (i.e. library, archives, record management, or information technology).
Feel free to add local events and forums.. anything you want!
We did it! - We're now sponsored by Victoria University and the Open Polytech in New Zealand, which allows us to continue this Ning with a new "plus" membership. Awesome!

Make your own card catalogues at blyberg.net Well, it’s that time of year again…classes have wound down, we have (mostly) caught up on sleep after the bleary, stress-filled days of final exams and projects. And now, as we step blinking into the sunlight for the first time in months, our minds turn to the chirping [...]
How to Hack Your Summer Vacation
Congratulations to everyone who’s just finished the first year of an LIS degree! If you’re anything like me, you’re still occasionally having phantom-homework guilt, as it’s such a novel feeling to have a bit of spare time. That spare time can be put to good use, though!
