The Itinerant librarians need the DistributedLibraryProject to exist for them to have a purpose and a means of doing their research. Rather than using or cataloguing their own collections of books, ItinerantLibrarians are constantly shifting between other people's archives - sorting, researching, annotating, indexing. Itinerant librarians all have their own motives for infiltrating these libraries.

[edit] INAUGURAL ITINERARY: Monday 27th December

The distributed library project UK's itinerant librarians will be setting out on a bicycle tour of library nodes in london, picking up books and references, along the way. If you would be interested in coming along, or recieving a visit and possibly some interesting books, do get in touch via the UoMailingList. More details soon.

[edit] Become an itinerant librarian if:

You have no access to a suitable library.
You are travelling and need to do research and require a specialist reference library.
You are bored of the predictable trajectories of thought that you find in your own library.
You are interested in asking people about their books as a method for locating useful research tangents.
Small personal collections are the only place you'll find what you're looking for.

[edit] Contact an itinerant librarian if

You require help cataloguing your library.
You would like to do your own research in your library and think an objective interest might help revive its interest and utility for you.
You would like to borrow the UoLibrary 's barcode scanner to help catalogue your books.1
You have a very interesting collection but have no idea how to start organising it, and would like to speak to an amateur.
