See all these boxes? These are the data collected on this trip! So I have a LOT of material to enter into the computer, to sort through, and to learn from in the analysis. I'm getting it boxed up now, and sending it back to my office in Boston.
Fortunately I have trusty research assistants to help out with the heavy lifting. I'm looking forward to seeing the results! I will be sharing them here, and sending it back to the libraries I visited. Everything here should give an interesting perspective on the state of public libraries - my favorite topic!
This fall, I'll be visiting the public libraries along the Eastern side of the Lewis and Clark Trail, and sending surveys to the ones I can't visit in person. A coast-to-coast look at public libraries may yield some interesting information.
Between this, and putting together my Fall classes, I'm having about as much fun as a library professor can have! Yes, it's pretty cool to be me! :)
