Not had enough time for reading lately - and this is a big addition to the pile of stuff building up. Stephen pointed to this in his newsletter. The papers are from the Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Organizational Learning and Knowledge organised on the theme of 'The Passion for Learning and Knowing' and edited by Silvia Gherardi and Davide Nicolini.

The two (large) PDF files contain many interesting papers papers. Hot on my reading list is 'Writing learning stories' by Claudia Jonczy which, according to Stephen develops a case writing approach consisting of three phases: the descriptive, the reflective and the critical. The intent is, through analysis of the metaphors used in storytelling, to extract and make explicit tacit knowledge embedded in the descriptions.

In a massive edited volume like this you need a good title and Olav Eikeland's 'Pragmatic turn, erotic epistemology, and new production of knowledge. Dialogical encounters between several discourses on knowledge and learning in organisations' certainly gets my vote.

One quick query - can anyone tell me why I cannot save this downloaded file - I am using an Apple Powerbook.

1 I've emailed the Trento eprints folks about broken Vol II pdf

I tried the volume II pdf in various OS's and applications and could not open it in any - it is broken. I emailed the support people at Trento eprints to report the problem.

Assuming that the last sentence in your post refers to the fact that the volume II pdf will not open, I also had the problem (Windows/OS-x, acrobat/Preview). The pdf is broken. I could not see any obvious problems with it in a text editor but I'm no expert :o)

I've emailed the Trento eprints people to report the problem. - cheers! Mike

2 Trento will repair the broken Volume 2 pdf file after Sept 5

The folks from Trento eprints have replied to say that they will repair the broken Volume 2 pdf file after September 5 when their staff return from holiday.

I've received the following reply to my email reporting the broken volume 2 pdf file:

Thank you very much for your email; I noticed the problem, but I won't be

able to fix it until September 5th, because our Unitn-eprints staff is on

holiday till that day. I am very sorry for the drawback, and I thank you

for your understanding.

Best regards,



Francesca Valentini
