From Nexgenlib list comes this news:
Good afternoon colleagues,
I recently started a new position as a cataloging librarian for a library services and staffing company headquartered in Wilton, CT — I am located in lovely Fort Wayne, IN. One of the benefits of the position is my ability to telecommute from home. One of my first actions in my new position was to look for resources for telecommuting librarians and a place to be able to network and have discussions with other telecommuters
on a regular and ongoing basis.Currently, there is no place for such exchanges to take place. I am pleased to announce the creation of TelecommutingLibrarians, a new electronic list that
I hope will help address this need.
PURPOSE:
This list is intended to provide a forum for discussion of ideas and issues related to telecommuting in libraries and for current or future telecommuters and the challenges faced by working in a non-traditional work environment.
We welcome subscription and participation by all. We believe that this list will be of particular interest to those already telecommuting but everyone is welcome.
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE :
If you would like to subscribe to the new list, please visit the list website:

The list is unmoderated.
We hope to see you there soon!
Hope this becomes a good list for all telecommuting librarians!
