LISN (pronounced listen) has been in existence since August 1998 when a group of (mainly) college and university librarians decided to network on a formalised basis. The group has evolved considerably since then to welcome any Lincolnshire-based information provider/library wishing to exchange ideas and information to benefit the Lincolnshire community.
LISN is a group which meets to share staff expertise and resources between its members and therefore by extension all members’ users.
The benefits to the staff members are mutual support (networking), best practice exchange, and for the people of Lincolnshire, access to a more comprehensive, wide reaching network of information. Each member institution is highly individual and the range of information available varies enormously. Access to each service point may be different but the network exists to benefit the county of Lincolnshire in a way that has previously been unavailable.
