eChicago 2011: Democracy, Diversity and the Digital
April 22-23, 2011
http://echicago.illinois.edu

All are welcome to this free event.

If Chicago's too far away, you can participate online -- live streaming 
and tweeting this friday/saturday, hashtag #echicago2011.

We have found it really productive to get together the city's 
practitioners, policymakers, and researchers on 
community/information/technology -- with librarians and library students 
in the thick of it.

I'd be very interested to hear of any similar events around the country 
that any of our schools are involved in.

all best,

kate
