LIS 950: Libraries and community

The purpose of this seminar is to explore an important topic in library and information studies in depth — in all its intertwined historical, cultural, philosophical, and political aspects — through a graduate reading/discussion seminar. The topic varies each time the course is taught; this time around, we will focus on "libraries and community"

Granted, I Have The Attention Span of a Gnat...

...and I am cynical, to boot, but I don't feel as if Putnum has given me a reason to care. He longs for this idea of 'involvement,' but he hasn't engaged me. Part of me wants to say that things change - the world changes - why is that such a bad thing?

And why spend time longing for the type(s) of communities that once were when we can focus on the commuity/ies we have?

See, I really am an optimist at heart.
