  This week, I have two speaking engagements to talk about the Scan. On Wednesday, I'll talk to the annual INFOhio planning retreat in beautiful downtown urlLink Mansfield, Ohio . urlLink INFOhio provides databases to K-12 schools thoughout Ohio on a statewide basis. This group includes both IT staff and school librarians (are they still called school media specialists? ) so it will be interesting to see how they react to the Scan's contention that the locus of IT is moving from the "T" (technology) to the "I" (information).
urlLink The Ohio Educational Library Media Association underwrote urlLink a very interesting report on the role of school libraries in educational attainment, and I'll be weaving some of the results of the report into my comments. Friday, I'll be at the urlLink Canadian Library Association meeting in Victoria, BC. I'll be part of the OCLC Update Luncheon there, and as always, it's a pleasure talking to people who are enjoying a free meal. But I'm really curious to see how the report resonates in Canada. Today, Alane Wilson (one of the Scan's gurus) is talking to the urlLink Canadian Association of Research Libraries annual meeting, also in Victoria, so we will compare notes when we're back here in Dublin. Happy Flag Day!
