[LM_NET] Target: Professional Reading Recommendations?

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello all,
 
Me ... yet again.
 
What professional books on teaching, education, and/or librarianship would you 
recommend?  
 
I am thinking along the lines of:
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson
The World is Flat by Friedman
School of Dreams by Hume
The Gatekeepers by Steinberg
Wikinomics by Tapscott and Williams
Stuff by Jonathan Kozol
 
You get the picture ... What other stuff might you recommend?  I'll post a hit.
 
Thanks,
 
dave

Debbi has sent me this site ... http://digitalbooktalk.com/  and it seems even the 
phrase "digital
booktalk" is now trademarked!  I hope no one has already snaffled my name of "Book 
Bait" in this
context and I end up in trouble.  I can't see that it has been used, so if you like 
it and don't
want to be at risk of using a trademarked phrase, then as far as I am concerned, 
help yourself!
