Thanks, Chris!
And at that site I discovered:
PLGnet-L - The Progressive Librarians Guild List
http://libr.org/plg/elist.php
Progressive Archivists -- a discussion group and caucus for
archivists and anyone else) interested in social responsibility in the
context of the archival profession. Join the discussion list at:
http://www.topica.com/lists/progarchs/
ALA Social Responsibilities Round Table: Subscribe to srrtac-l, our
official discussion list, at http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/srrtac-l
Et al. (Et tu, RDA)
While these are all quite dandy, what we really need is a list that
advocates for open discussions of multifarious and shifting possibilities
themselves, without political or possibly alienating (to some) labels or
agendas. Perhaps such a list could be used to demonstrate the cleverness
and flexibility of the librarian community to the wider world (if not as a
means of developing the most effective means of library-advocacy)!
Cheers!
