Crazy Busy
Book Sprints are in the first week of 12 straight weeks of Book Sprints. Crazy! Right now they are working with the British Library:
#CollectiveWisdomAHRC Book Sprint with @britishlibrary kicked off with discussions and exercises to find the objectives of the book: "if you could communicate one thing about this topic, what would it be?". Sometimes drawings make it easier to get there than words! pic.twitter.com/rVYgS5dlvA

Interesting new blog series from Book Sprints
The Book Sprints team are putting together a very interesting series of posts based on their own research into ‘Book Sprint Champions’. Champions is a term we have used for a while to describe those who advocate for a Book Sprint within their own organisation. These advocates are bringing new business processes to their organisation when they bring us into the fold. HOowever, they face a lot of issues when trying to convince their org to go down this path.
The reward for succeeding is quite immense at times, as Book Sprints deliver on the level of knowledge creation, but also team building, organisational learning etc. We have seen many champions be promoted internally after a successful Book Sprint. But to get there is sometimes a slog, and so the series of posts the team is putting together (I don’t know the results of their research yet) is going to be pretty interesting.
More Amazing Pagedjs work
Quelques scans d'un livre que j'ai fait récemment : 460 pages de ressources pédagogiques que je donnais en workshop dans un fablab, entièrement mis en page en HTML+CSS avec @paged_js #webtoprint pic.twitter.com/5hPJgoq4oi

Last year I made a book for @MSR_Tlse using @paged_js. 📖 It includes high resolution photos, full page elements, CMYK colors and metalic pantone colors. Today I'm happy to share the results ➡️ https://t.co/KK8HZg7rsP pic.twitter.com/fL9gGCqSxa
