Collaboration in a continuum of learning: developing the next generation of leadership.

A project to create a lifelong learning community among health sciences library and information professionals by demonstrating the potential for using complementary technologies to provide access to a full range of educational experiences as recommended in Platform for Change, the Medical Library Association's educational policy statement, is described. The cooperative project brings together the rich continuing education tradition of the Medical Library Association, the experience of the University of South Carolina in distance education, and the Library and Information Science Distance Education Consortium to create a virtual campus through which health sciences library professionals may engage in lifelong learning.
