And, the poor man’s (well, figuratively speaking) version is t he public library!

School librarians can (and do) provide this service for their clients as well…be they students, teachers, administrators, parents & community!

Are they hiring? I’ll be happy to go put their research summaries, etc. together for them.

Best, and keep on blogging.

Some of the most broadly relevant articles I read, on a regular basis, come from THE NEW YORKER (hilarious piece on ESL in China, in current issue), HARPERS, THE ATLANTIC, etc.

I was pretty sure, for example, that ipods were important when they were featured in the cover illustration of the NEW YORKER several years ago. That represented a jump, in my mind, from early adopters to main stream acceptance.

To be honest, I tend to rely on WilsonWeb’s LIBRARY LIT when I’m looking for direct coverage of a library topic, especially in academic-land, where I’m investing a lot of time lately. It’s there at the moment that I need it. That works better, for me, than trying to read the literature as it happens to be shoved into my in-box. One’s in-box, you know, can be defined as “everyone else’s agenda for YOU.”
