***APOLOGIES FOR RECEIPT OF DUPLICATE POSTINGS***
Colleagues/

Over the past week or so I*ve posted several notable items in my
_Scholarship 2.0_ blog at [ http://scholarship20.blogspot.com/ ]. 

BTW1: *_Scholarship 2.0_ is devoted to describing and documenting the
forms, facets, and features of alternative Web-based scholarly
publishing philosophies and practices. The variety of old and new
metrics available for assessing the impact, significance, and value of
Web-based scholarship is of particular interest.*
