Translations and International Posts

My post on crafting a security narrative in libraries has been translated in Italian.

I have been fortunate in having several of my posts translated in part or whole. Unfortunately most of them revolve around crisis:

I am also happy to be supporting several translations of my book Expect More:

The Atlas of New Librarianship has been translated into Italian, and a Chinese version is underway.

Lastly I have had several videos captioned in other languages. Here’s one in French:

Expect More Second Edition    

The Expect More Collaboratory is about to produce it’s first deliverable: the second edition of the Expect More book. This will be quickly followed by an Expect More Workbook and, in the summer, online training and advocacy materials.

With the release of the second edition the downloadable and print version of the first edition will be withdrawn from the web and online markets like Amazon (Collaboratory partners will be able to still download the first edition as well as the second edition through the Collaboratory site). The second edition of Expect More as well as the Workbook will be available for purchase by non-members. This will start happening January 1st.

Just as a reminder, Expect More Collaboratory members get 25 copies of the printed second edition, a print copy of the Workbook, unlimited access to the ebook versions and of course access to the coming online materials.

A note of thanks and gratitude to all who helped make Expect More such a success. It has been sold, accessed, and downloaded over 20,000 times!

If you would like to be part of the future of Expect More please consider joining the Expect More Collaboratory.
