Want to introduce a great blog and source of information.

I will let them describe their Blog

HangingTogether is a place where some of the staff atOCLC Research, particularly those of us who support the OCLC Research Library Partnership, can talk about the intersections we see happening between these different types of institutions. We visit partners, go to conferences, and take note of the interesting things we see along the way. Stop in, stay awhile, and hang out.

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. Benjamin Franklin
