Hi Keith, An interesting idea which raises another point. Regardless of what we might think of wikipedia there is currently no entry for HLG (there is an entry for cilip where the group name is included but incorrect). As I understand the editing policy it this is not something HLG officially can do anything about - but I suspect a member could? Personally I am trying to steer clear of facebook. Tom Roper has documented some interesting experiences on his blog.

Sent: 27 June 2007 16:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Facebook Dear All, I have recently discovered the social network site Facebook (www.facebook.com) and wonder about starting a Health Libraries Group group there. I don't think there is one already, although the Health Libraries Group of British Columbia do and a few other library related groups do. What do people think? Is anyone else in Facebook? I haven't really got an idea of where this might go, or what it might be for, but I am interested in seeing what can be done with this site.
