A very special (and very long) *Cites &
Insight*s<http://citesandinsights.info/civ10i10.pdf>is now available:
Volume
10, Issue 10, September/October 2010<http://citesandinsights.info/civ10i10.pdf>
.

It's at http://citesandinsights.info/civ10i10.pdf, if you're not seeing the
links.

The 60-page issue (which, at 1.5MB, may take a little longer than usual to
download) is PDF-only and consists of one essay:
But Still They Blog: The Liblog Landscape 2007-2009
Except for a few paragraphs (most of page 56), this is taken entirely from
the book* But Still They Blog: The Liblog Landscape
2007-2009<http://www.lulu.com/content/7952668>
*, which is still available. Page 56 summarizes what's *not *in the issue--a
few graphs, one column of quite a few tables, a substantial portion of one
text-only chapter...and all 521 liblog profiles.

Pages 57-60 contain an index to liblog names and people's names within the
issue--since it came directly from the Word document used for the book, it
was easy to create a new index (the book index uses W0rd's internal indexing
features), and a group of advisers from that august body, the Library
Society of the World, encouraged me to include it.

Since the issue includes dozens of tables and a fair number of graphs, and
since it would be vastly longer in printed-HTML form, no HTML version is
provided.

Does "September/October" mean there won't be an issue for another two
months?


It means this is three times as long as my target size for issues and twice
as long as most actual issues. It means there *might not *be another issue
before the November 2010 issue...depending on a whole bunch of other things.

Meanwhile, enjoy. And to the 17 people and libraries who actually purchased
the book to date: *Thanks*. I hope a few others join you. There's a bunch of
good stuff in the book that isn't in this issue.
