Wherein we discuss recent conferences (3 T's, ACRL, CiL) and dig our way into and among literacy landscapes.  We scour the topic with a metal detector, trying to unearth mysteries and problems behind various issues like critical thinking, reflective learning, open learning and the transition from high school to college and the relationship/impact of technology on all of them.
