The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview for librarians and information workers of approaches to personal and organizational development mediated by communities of practice. The concept of a ‘community of practice’ is a new approach to thinking and talking about a very traditional activity within the library community; for example, collaborative working and networking both within the profession and also in multi-professional groups.
