Transliterate Libraries: Creating Conversations for Portable, Participatory, and Personalized Learning

Editor's Notes

  • #35 define enchantment as the process of delighting people with a product, service, organization, or idea. The outcome of enchantment is voluntary and long-lasting support that is mutually beneficial. Kawasaki, Guy (2011). Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions (Kindle Locations 116-118). Portfolio. Kindle Edition.
