[Web4lib] Librarian 2.0 Experiment: Librarian Fit Club

[Joy Weese Moll]

Keith and Web4Lib--

What fun! Count me in. I would also suggest 43 Things:
http://www.43things.com/
Which is all about shared progress on goals.

I set up a goal to be a more fit librarian for anyone who wants to play
along in that forum:
