I would really like to respond to this call for papers, and since abstracts aren’t due for several weeks I’m using it as a reason to do some reading and re-reading.

So I wrote something today, but I didn’t write it here. I wrote it over here. And even better, Caleb and Rachel wrote stuff over there too. Stuff that I’m even more excited about than what I wrote.

I have definitely hit that “what am I forgetting before ALA” mode where it is not a matter of if I forget anything, but rather how important the thing I forget will turn out to be. I am deep in the throes of preparing to present this pre-conference workshop with these awesome people while [...]

Over at Peer-to-Peer, the Nature blog for peer reviewers, Maxine Clark points out that it is Nature Precedings’ first birthday (or one-year anniversary) today. Her post does a great job of pointing out how the web-based peer review part of this experiment has developed. I especially like her example of constructive review [...]

Kate and I are still buzzing from the great conversation we had with the people who came to our session at LOEX of the West. It’s always an amazing and kind of surreal experience when you find out that other people are excited by the same ideas you are.

This presentation from last week’s JSTOR Annual Publishers Meeting, examining how digital access to information has affected scholars’ research patterns, is very interesting. Meredith Quinn presented some research from Ithaka that looks at some of those disciplinary differences in research practice that I think most of us intuitively feel are there.

Not this post on bias — this post on bias.
I’m having one of those days (actually two of those days in a row now) where everything I read is interesting and I want to talk about it more. So much so that I’m a little overwhelmed and end up not talking about anything. [...]

Nothing, really? Except maybe…
I spent the weekend working on a project Shaun is just starting - a documentary that takes a geographic look at why Portland has become such a central place for comics creators and publishers. He’s had to push his production schedule way up because the Stumptown Comics Fest, which has [...]
