Here’s a thought. One keen law.librarian who has a “spare” alternative email address sets up a lawlibrarians Twitter account and feeds in the RSS from here. We all follow it (for a while) to get the juice flowing. See what happens.
I think it would be useful if somewhere you let everyone know what they need to do to be able to contribute. I have been crawling through the posts and site information and can’t find anything that helps me. Cheers!
For anyone else who is interested - Send me an email (mail@lo-fi-librarian.co.uk)- you will need a WordPress account and you will need to let me know the email address you used to sign up to WordPress. Then I can set you up as a contributor :)
@lo-fi - Why not update the About page with joining info?
Who subscribes to LIS-law? Isn’t that fertile ground for new recruits? I followed it for a while before Web 2.0 came along. Full of cool information requests like please fax me page A1234/5 of Archbold!

Maybe there are only 17 law.librarians that know where the internet is?

That strikes me as extremely likely!

Maybe the dingo ate all the other law librarians…

I contacted a lot of people and although it seemed there was interest sadly there were a lot of no shows.

Ah well, silly me :-) Following that now. But there are still only 28 lawlibrians followers in the whole world!

Some pretty illustrious followers though- I think Yale Science Library have signed up!

I’ve just thought, If am one of only 17 law librarians in the world, I think I may deserve a pay rise

@iOverlord - I think so! must make a note of that for next years appraisal :)
