Cites & Insights 8:3 (March 2008) is now available for
downloading at
http://cites
andinsights.info/civ8i3.pdf.
This is the centenary issue--#100--a nice round number that
I'm a little
surprised to have achieved. Naturally, that milestone
affects the issue--but
not as you might expect.
The issue's long--36 pages--and PDF as usual, although all
but the last
section (My Back Pages, always exclusively PDF) are also
available in HTML
form from the home page, http://citesandinsights.
info
This issue includes:
* 100 Reasons for Doing Cites & Insights - an
introduction
* Trends & Quick Takes - ink costs, life without
software, the significance
of good sound and more: six trends, ten quicker takes.
* Perspective: Tracking High-Def Discs - including a
prediction for the
likely winner in the format war.
* Making it Work - the biggie: 19 pages devoted to aspects
of making
libraries better, including reading (reader's advisory, slow
reading, etc.),
philosophy, hassles, balance, and "Library 2.0
debased."
* Interesting & Peculiar Products - flashy labels, green
PCs, supercheap
laptops and more: 19 items in all.
* My Back Pages - 16 mini-perspectives, none of them
terribly serious.
