It is not uncommon in libraries to have various library professionals doing their own thing in their own branches, often never really having face-to-face interaction with other library workers in their system. Although necessary, it can feel very isolating not having regular communication with your co-workers.

The use and advantages of blogs and social media outlets will be discussed.
