Project Videonet was envisioned to cut across established organizational hierarchies, functioning as a “Community of Practice”. A Community of Practice is defined as a “group of professionals, informally bound to one another through exposure to a common class of problems, common pursuit of solutions, and thereby themselves embodying a store of knowledge.” (Johnson-Lenz).

Since you are all in different jurisdictions, it's important that there be a common means for communications. That's where the new Project Videonet listserv comes in. The listserv will serve as the primary means of communicating the results and products of Project Videonet, as well as a public forum for you to pose questions or share solutions.

You are receiving this newsletter in association with one of the first messages sent on this new listserv. Administrative instructions for listservs adds, deletions, etc. are available at http://lists.infopeople.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/videonet-infopeople.dreamhost.com. Feel free to pass this URL on the others who may be interested in subscribing. Video-equipped libraries outside California also will be invited to subscribe to the list.
