Cortada discusses the key findings from his new book, All the Facts: A History of Information in the United States Since 1870. He will also introduce a framework for studying information history that can be applied at the national level and in more narrowly focused studies. His discussion will review the role of information in the private and public sectors, also how people used information in their public and private lives, and conclude with an argument in favor of understanding the role of information as a central theme in American history.

As the incoming chair, I wanted to say a quick hello and welcome you to our annual meeting in Copenhagen if you will be attending. That meeting will be on Tuesday from 4:45-6:00 (16:45-18:00) in Thames 1. If you would like to Skype in, that?s also a possibility; just let me know. If you have things you?d like added to our discussion, just email them to me. This is a great time to talk about what we?d like to do this year. We didn?t have as many offerings as we?d like this past year, so come with ideas. I would like to think about: ? Ways to partner with other SIGS (most of us are in more than one, so we should have plenty of ideas) ? Webinars that would be beneficial to both membership and those outside of ASIS&T dabbling in KM ? How we can increase communication, e.g. a bi-monthly newsletter with little KM-related blurbs written by different SIG members. We could turn this into a series of white papers. ? Panel submissions for next year?s annual meeting (related to possible partnership with other SIG). What has ASIS&T been missing that a KM group could bring? I look forward to seeing/hearing from you. -- 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...

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=076f3dfb39&e=e473e0abeb) ].
