Sixth News Update
RUTH RIKOWSKI
This Sixth News Update consists of a number of profiles of different people and organisations that I have connected with in one way or another.
The first four people are all people that I commissioned to write a book for Chandos Publishing. Following on from this, they then became involved (at my invitation) in some of the other work and projects that I am involved with. Paul, Toni and Kingsley all became Advisory members of the Editorial Board of Information for Social Change, at: http://www.libr.org/isc/. ISC is an organisation that challenges the dominant paradigms of library and information work, but I will write more about ISC in a future News Update. Furthermore, Kingsley was the previous webmaster for ISC, and Paul is the current one (at times when ISC was very much in need of a webmaster!). Whilst Isaac Hunter, who likes to be known as ‘Hunt’ is now co-editing a special issue of the peer-reviewed, international e-journal, Policy Futures in Education (http://www.wwwords.co.uk/pfie), on the topic of Digital Libraries, with me.
The fifth person ‘In Focus’ is my partner, Glenn Rikowski. His main field is in regard to developing Marxist educational theory.
Finally, there is a focus on ‘Digo PC’ which is the company that designed our website, The Flow of Ideas’ for us, which we are very pleased with.
1. Focus on Toni Samek

Toni authored the 2001 book Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibility in American Librarianship, 1967-1974, (McFarland). In 2003, the Kyoto University Library and Information Science Study Group published it in Japanese translation.
Toni’s new 2007 book (just out!) is Librarianship and Human Rights: A Twenty-first Century Guide with Chandos Publishing, Oxford http://www.chandospublishing.com/catalogue/record_detail.php?recordID=82

Also, I would personally like to thank those that have joined the Advisory Editorial Board of Information for Social Change, that have been referred to in this Update, for all the hard work they have done for ISC. I am sure that all the ISC EB would want to join me in thanking them. They have all been a tremendous asset to ISC.
