Grey Paper Link to the Dissertation: Reading the Landscape of Public Libraries as Place, by Jean McKendry, 2013

I am placing the link information for this dissertation here with the thought that easier access to grey papers such as this will encourage reading and open discussion.  This is also an open invitation for you to write a precis on this paper  (or, on any other grey paper or peer-reviewed article that you find necessary or interesting)….

You can find more on the topic of “Homelessness” by using this search link.

Working Title: Scholars Before Researchers – Not a Precis, yet…

As you scroll down you might notice that the precis is missing….  This is because, well, because it is missing….  This morning I have decided to put my “works in progress” into this blog.

This is also an open invitation for you to write a precis on this article.  It is a rather interesting article.  The title of this one caught my eye.  A quick scan confirmed and my curiosity was appeased.  This is why this one is here.  A precis will follow — I just don’t know quite when.
