More Grind and Harry Potter


Ok, today (and this past week), I have being intersecting my reading and work with trying to grab time to read the New Potter book – which despite Will Self’s denigration of it on the Today programme this morning it is great! Anyway back to work: I spent the morning reading three articles (and Harry potter):

For those people interested the articles were:

  • O’Neil, W. (1970), Properly Literate, Harvard Educational Review, 40(2)
  • Levin, K. (1982), Functional Literacy: Fond Illusions and False Economies, Harvard Educational Review, 52(3), p.249
  • Wilson, T. (2000), Human Information behaviour, Informing Science, 3(2): 49-55
