Wiegand discovers people love their public libraries for three main reasons: access to practical information; the library as a place; and the transformative potential commonplace stories have for library readers. Because conventional LIS research and education mostly focus on the first, and largely overlook and undervalue the last two, he argues that by not having core courses in "reading and libraries" and "library as place" in American Library Association-accredited programs, and by not conducting much more research on the effects of both, LIS research and education fall short of the profession's needs. Come and join ASIS&T and Dr. Wiegand for what will be a riveting discussion. As a primer, this fascinating article will get you thinking about the salient attributes public libraries provide, not only for information studies, but sociologically and politically as well [more (http://asist.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de58424ef2e609298efbb4a00&id=5654342618&e=e473e0abeb) ].

Copenhagen was difficult to attend for many, so we didn?t have anyone else to conduct the annual business meeting. We have lots of things to discuss?and numerous opportunities?as we look to revamp SIG-KM. As a reminder, these meetings are open to all SIG-KM members. If you are still at all interested in tying your work in with Knowledge Management, this is a great opportunity to do so and have your voice heard as we figure out what SIG-KM is and does. I have attached an agenda of things we need to discuss, but please feel free to bring your own items. New voices are always welcome. We will use GoTo Meeting. I have set up a Doodle Poll to figure out the best time to meet. Please go to http://doodle.com/poll/y6zw3u8hbd5ehmpb and indicate your preferences. I already know that some of our members can only attend Wed. or Thursday nights, so that has already been noted. I hope to have high engagement with this meeting as we jumpstart the year. Please read through the agenda and seriously consider attending. It will only be 60-90 minutes of your time (depending on discussion). I look forward to meeting with you all! -- Darin Freeburg, PhD Assistant Professor School of Library and Information Science University of South Carolina 803.777.0446 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
