[Web4lib] Cites & Insights 8:2 available

[Walt Crawford]

Cites & Insights 8:2 (February 2008) is now available at
http://citesandinsights.info/civ8i2.pdf

The 24-page issue (PDF as always, but all articles are also available as
HTML separates at http://citesandinsights.info/) includes:

* Announcing Academic Library Blogs: 231 Examples - the latest from
Cites & Insights Books, a $29.50 289-page paperback that complements
Public Library Blogs: 252 Examples. Included are brief notes, the list
of academic institutions represented, examples of blog coverage for both
books, the announcement of $20 PDF downloads for those who just can't
stand print books--and a few notes on the status of Cites & Insights
Books.

* Trends & Quick Takes: Trends and Forecasts - Time to look at some
pundits' scorecards and forecasts, along with some of the trends from
the LITA Top Tech Trendspotters, with some of my comments interleaved.

* Bibs & Blather: Midwinter Musings - Notes on a much warmer
Philadelphia Midwinter, along with a special essay based on an odd but
not unique occurrence: "Leadership and Initiative: The Case of the Empty
Chairs."

* Offtopic Perspective: 50 Movie Western Classics, Part 1 - Roy Rogers
is riding tonight, as are Tex Ritter, Gene Autry, John Wayne and a slew
of others. A bunch of one hour "oaters" and a handful of pretty good
pictures.

When I chatted with a few of you at Midwinter, I may have expressed
concern that the February issue might be some combination of late, short
and peculiar, since I didn't think I had any of it written (I forgot
about the Offtopic Perspective). Well, one out of three ain't bad: It's
not late and it's not short. Enjoy.
