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!
