Subject: [WAIN] Search Competition for Librarians at New Information
Portal

We'd like to announce a new service for information professionals and
librarians - ResearchTrail. 
 
ResearchTrail has two aims:
 
* To be a community and a meeting-place where those of us whose job it
is to find information can interact with, collaborate with, and help the
people who need that information, and also help each other. 
 
* To provide a marketplace where businesses and individuals can find
professional searchers, and info-pros looking for clients can advertise
their services.
 
Since ResearchTrail is a free-access website, it's truly global - no
matter where you live, you can interact with other information
professionals, get help, and find work through ResearchTrail's
marketplace.
 
ResearchTrail goes online in March; but you can register now at
www.researchtrail.com <http://www.researchtrail.com/> . A week before we
open, we'll send everyone who registered a personal username, so you can
get a sneak preview. Then we open with a search competition (with
prizes) for information professionals - to encourage as many of you as
possible try us out and comment on what we're doing right and wrong and
what you'd like to see there.  Everyone who's registered is eligible to
take part in the competition too.
 
ResearchTrail is built by info-pros for info-pros. We look forward to
seeing you all on-site and hearing what you think.
