Space to discuss Passet, Wiegand readings for first week

Since we didn't have time to discuss the "extra" readings for week 1 in class, I thought I'd open up some space on the weblog for students to provide feedback or ask questions on those readings. In particular, if you have anything to say about Joanne E. Passet's encyclopedia article on “United States of America [library history]” or Wayne Wiegand's article, “American library history literature, 1947-1997: Theoretical perspectives," please leave comments below.
