• The characteristics of the EXIT Directory (Experts in information management), officially launched in June of 2005, are described. After two years online (July of 2007), its use was evaluated and analyzed, taking into account its operations, impact, visibility, and acceptance on the part of the professional community it serves: librarians, information scientists, archivists and information specialists. Technically, EXIT is considered a state-of-the-art directory and a genuine product of web 2.0, since those involved submit and update their own records, under the supervision and filtering of EXIT creators-managers and an international Evaluation Committee.
