­Librarians for informational commons and another Europe is an emerging network of librarians for informational commons over Europe North, South, East and West.  The network wants to link the public library to the social forum, and vice versa.  It also wants to engage professional  librarians and archivists in the documentation of the social forums  and the presentation of its on-going activities.
