<a href="http://citesandinsights.info/civ9i2.pdf"><em>Cites &amp;
Insights</em> 9:2, Midwinter 2009</a>, is now available.

The 34-page issue (PDF as usual) consists of either one essay or 132 essays,
depending on your perspective:
<h3><a href="http://citesandinsights.info/v9i2a.htm">A <em>was</em> for AAC:
A Discursive Glossary, Rethought and Expanded (1-34)
</a></h3>
<blockquote>That's right! Five years after the <a href="
http://citesandinsights.info/civ4i2.pdf">Midwinter 2004 issue</a>, "A is for
AAC: A Discursive Glossary," here it comes again, thanks to unanimous advice
from those of you who chose to comment.

For 97 entries (out of roughly 100 in the 2004 issue), I've repeated
portions of the 2004 commentary (preceded by <strong>Then:</strong> ) and
added new commentary (preceded by <strong>Now:</strong> ) as appropriate.

Another 35 entries are wholly original to this issue (preceded by
<strong>New</strong>: )

It's a little longer than the 2004 edition (34 pages instead of 20). It's
<em>mostly </em>new material (roughly 63% new text).</blockquote>
<h3>Please don't print out the HTML version</h3>
I've provided the <a href="http://citesandinsights.info/v9i2a.htm">whole
thing in HTML</a>--but for on-screen use only. Please, if you're going to
print it out, use the PDF: My tests show that the HTML version will require
45 pages rather than 34.
<h3>Next...</h3>
The last time I did this, one or two of you were disturbed because there
wound up being two issues in 10 days. That's not going to happen this time.
The February 2009 issue will appear <strong>in February 2009</strong>. Right
now, less than a third of it is even in draft form--and with a presentation
to prepare for OLA, and notes to prepare for an OLA panel, in addition to
ALA Midwinter and OLA to attend...well, you can be certain I'm not going to
wrap the February issue up all that rapidly.
