About Us & Contact
This site was originally established by Danielle Dennie, a science librarian now working at Concordia University in Montreal. She put this resource together to offer news, information, and resources to librarians who want to be active in political and social issues surrounding libraries and librarianship. In May 2006, the site was handed over to a new crew, spearheaded by Sabina Iseli-Otto. Since January 2008, Danielle is back to blogging again, and happy to be sharing this space with like minded librarians.
