[Web4lib] All Things Being Equal (was Google News Timeline)

[IsisInform at aol.com]

Hi to Web4Lib
 
A few weeks ago, we had a discussion about relevance when sorting titles  
from the same issue of the same journal.  I recently expanded on  this in a 
post for my blog,  _IsisInBlog_ (http://isisinblog.typepad.com/) .  I had 
hoped to  post sooner, but had problems with my Web4Lib subscription.  Has  
anyone else had difficulty changing subscription addresses?
 
The blog post, _"All  This Being Equal:  Sorting Articles in One Issue of a 
Journal," _ 
(http://isisinblog.typepad.com/isisinblog/2009/05/all-things-being-equal-sorting-articles-in-one-issue-of-a-journal-.html) explains my 
position with examples from several databases -- ProQuest,  Academic OneFILE, 
EBSCO, and WilsonSelectPlus.  Some of you will be glad to  know that I have 
changed my opinion about the process being silly.  Now I  think it is surreal. 
 
 
Thanks,
 
 
Katherine
