Well, I’ve just arrived in Helsinki with Ruth Stubbings. We are going to meet lots of Finnish librarians on Monday and Tuesday; they have asked us to talk about how we devised the new seven pillars model and chat about the role of models in general. We are both sitting here in our room in the university guest house, typing away on our notebooks, how sad are we?

Hopefully we will manage some sightseeing tomorrow, the city looks spectacular ( from what I’ve seen in the dark) and we may even peek into a library or two along the way…
