I have two tracks in mind for the fall course I’ll be teaching, given the variety of folks I’m hoping to attract to the class: one Library 2.0-oriented and the other information entrepreneurship-oriented. So I was trawling the web for some ideas to spark discussions in the second track (“Intellectual Venture Capital”) and came across the concept of “dark tourism,” which is currently being studied (and marketed) by certain academic-related institutions such as the Dark Tourism Forum in Lancashire. “Dark Satanic Mills”, indeed!
