I am so excited to find this group on WebJunction! I did my master's thesis for my MLIS on everyday information exchange in book discussion groups. I'm in the process of getting a downloadable version of it ready for WebJunction, but thought I'd share at least the
worldcat link] to it.
I've also joined my local library's book club. It's amazing how quickly we've formed bonds with each other which is great since we all live in the same neighborhood. Community building in action. I've noticed that talking about books tends to also open the door to lots of personal information sharing as well. At least that's the experience of my local group and some of the groups I observed for my thesis.
I look forward to seeing this group grow!
