book: The Atlas of New Librarianship

The Atlas of New Librarianship
R. David Lankes

2011, The MIT Press

count: TBD  finished 23 pages

(408 pages, but I won't get them all thoroughly read)

An essential guide to a librarianship based not on books and artifacts but on knowledge and learning. Post to follow -- I'll work on this until our semester and reporting period end.

Update 5/2/2012

My reading in this text is the single regret for my supplemental reading this semester. I really wanted to get into this complex and amazingly rich resource, and I can only say that I honestly consumed only 23 pages. I spent lots of time examining and unraveling the infographics.

I would like to request a full course, doctoral level, on this text alone. It would take a full semester, and all the discussion and collaboration seen in a course to absorb all this.
