I thought it would be cool to group together many of the new voices we are hearing in the Ning. Hope you don't mind if from time to time older folks come in and mentor a bit!

Eeeek! Spammers! I am so sorry!

Hi friends,
(Update: I am now approving membership. If you plan to join, please identify yourself as a legitimate member of the library or related field in your profile.)
Over the past week or so, our network has been hit by spammers. I have blocked several and wrote to the Ning people about others. This is happening on the other Nings too. Please hang on while I work through the problem. I am very sorry.
