We are happy
to announce the launch of The Library Journal Club Network (https://journalclubnetwork.wordpress.com/), a space
where those interested in establishing and sustaining journal clubs can share
information, ask questions, and find answers.


 


The site includes:


 


	Guidelines for creating and managing a
     library-related journal club
	A list of readings and resources about journal
     clubs
	A directory of journal clubs



 


The site is
currently set up as a resource for librarians who lead and participate in
journal 


clubs. Going
forward, we hope the site will facilitate information sharing through the
network. To get started, we invite journal club leaders / facilitators to visit
our directory page (https://journalclubnetwork.wordpress.com/directory/) and submit
information about their group to be added to the site. 


 


We also
welcome feedback about the site and ideas for expanding it in the future. You
may use the contact section of the site to reach us.
