Here is a cool quote requoted from Convergence Culture…
“Freedom is fostered when the means of communication are dispersed, decentralized, and easily available, as are printing presses or microcomputers. Central control is more likely when the means of communication are concentrated, monopolized, and scarce, as are great networks.”

Social Justice Librarian Style and a Networking Opportunity are Coming to Chicago:
As many of you know, a group of us have been working on bring a Chicago version of the Deskset to fruition. After a very successfully meeting last night, I know that this idea will become a reality soon. We still have some details to work out, but it is such an exciting time, and I wanted to share!
The vision is to create a network in which librarians, library lovers and book lovers can come together to share in our commonality. It will also have a primary purpose of achieving social justice in the area. It will unite us! It will bring us together! It will help alleviate information poverty and promote literacy! It will fill a major need! It will be just plan awesome!!!
I hope that you are excited. I will keep you all posted.
