I live near Avignon in France. I worked for (probably too many) years with university libraries around the world, in academic books - ordinary books and electronic books. Also worked on a huge number of educational projects for developing countries. And for an NGO, making electronic information available to African researchers and overhauling African library systems (funded by the Scandinavians and Carnegie respectively). Since 2001, I worked with a couple of US corporations, one in New Hampshire, one in Nashville & Niagara Falls. Still work a bit but have scaled down to spend more time seeing friends, enjoying France - which is a fabulous country; everyone knows that, right? - meeting new people, reading books and playing chess. If you want a game - let me know....
