Dear All,

Juanita Benedicto and Colleen Bell, both librarians at the University
of Oregon, are very happy to present NewBreed Librarian.

NewBreed Librarian is a bimonthly web publication intended to foster a
sense of community for those new to librarianship, whether in school or
just out. It consists of a daily news weblog and letters from our
readers.
Every two months, NewBreed Librarian offers a new issue with a feature
article and interview, advice from Susu, and helpful tips for the more
technical side of librarianship in our column TechTalk. New issues also
highlight progressive librarians and other information professionals in
the People section, advertising exciting and exemplary work. NewBreed
Librarian debuted February 1, 2001, and as it matures, we hope to
develop
a searchable database in the Jobs category and include samples of grad
school admission essays, resumes, cover letters, etc. in Xtras. Most
importantly, NewBreed aims to use the web to build community and foster
collaboration among librarians. We're molding the Networks section with
this objective in mind.  Finally, we want the website to reflect the
diversity of work that librarians do and provide an accurate picture of
what librarianship is all about.

We're excited about NewBreed, and hope that you are too. Send us your
suggestions, praise, comments, technical troubleshooting emails, and
anything else you can think of. We're gonna need it.
