Help A Librarian is an online tool that helps librarians share information and help each other. The project, which was founded earlier this year, began as a Facebook group, and eventually moved to a separate site on the web.
The idea behind the site is simple, to help one another. The site basically offers subscribers the ability to post questions and receive help from librarians across the world. Before you sign up, you can begin to see the type of questions that are being posted on the site, and the type of answers coming back. And from what I can see, the discussions always happen in English.
This project is very similar to Project Wombat. As far as I can tell the only difference is that Help A Librarian handles only questions directly related to libraries, while Project Wombat will try and resolve questions of any kind.
You can find Help A Librarian on Facebook, or directly sign up with them to start sharing information: Help a Librarian
