And how I&#8217;d broached the idea with the Dean at FSU? Well&#8230; funny thing about that. The next morning I got an e-mail from Linda Main, the Associate Director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/slisweb.sjsu.edu\/\">School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University<\/a> asking if I&#8217;d like to replicate Five Weeks to a Social Library as a regular for-credit class for the MLIS students at SJSU in Spring 2008.
