I just received official word that I have been granted a sabbatical for the 2007-2008 academic year. The purpose of the sabbatical is to further develop the concept of participatory librarianship and the recommendations that came out of the Participatory Networks technology brief. I’ll have some more details on my planned activities for the year soon (waiting to nail a few details down).
In the meantime if you are looking to host a wandering academic for a while (anyone read this in Scotland) let me know.
Hey, if you want to wander down to New York City in August, you can hang out at Library Camp NYC on the 14th. I know I’d like to have a discussion group form to discuss the participatory network report you helped craft. Details at the event wiki.
This looks very cool. I’ll have to check my calendar.
Since you are wandering, you could wander North a few hundred KMs. We in Ottawa are always glad to see/hear you! Let’s talk. Din.
