The class syllabus is now available here.

If you're finished with your fall classes and can't wait to get started - why not check out the December 2013 issue of Feliciter on International Libraries for some inspiration for your case study? And/or come to the AESISSA potluck on Sunday, December 8th with a new or gently used book for the Children's Book Bank - and/or sign up for Librarians Without Borders or the Prison de Hull project!
