How about...
A multi-talented group of professionals who enjoy getting together to network and share ideas and solutions to challenging problems.
A group of diverse personalities who work in a variety of information environments creating and delivering tailor-made information and knowledge services to their users and clientele.
A creative, cohesive and loyal circle of colleagues who are there for each other with advice and suggestions when the need arises, the information demands seem unattainable or the deadline seems impossible to meet.
