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 -- Kate Williams Assistant Professor, UIUC Graduate School of Library and Information Science http://people.lis.illinois.edu/~katewill
