Accepted!
It went well! I got some wonderful feedback, suggestions and ideas about moving forward into the dissertation. Thanks to all of my committee members - Dr. O’Connor (Chair), Drs. Lewandowski, Marek and Scahmber — and to my grad assistant, Brian Want, who took copious notes of the discussion.

Good job! The proposal defense is the hardest part … it’s all downhill from here!

Well done sir! Will you be booking it up now?
I fell at that hurdle and submitted for an MPhil- you almost make me want to go back and try again

Hi Michael and all,
First of all, congratulations! Secondly was commenting to ask you (and everyone) a question. Myself and 3 other MLIS students at the University of Washington are doing a (pretend) research study on the implications of blogging in public libraries as a community building tool. We’ve found some good research (yours included) that define blogging, say why we should do it, and point to great projects, but not too much research that measure its effects in actuality in a public library setting. Can anybody point us in the right direction re: studies that have already been done? Any possibility of a tiny preview of what those 238 blogging librarians said? Thanks for the great blog and any help is greatly appreciated.
