Cites on a Plane 2: This Time It's for Keeps

In plenty of time for ALA Annual--but also for those of you not going to DC in a few weeks, Cites on a Plane 2: This Time It's for Keeps is now available for downloading.


This 44-page issue is Cites & Insights 7:7, Mid-June 2007. (The seventh issue of the seventh volume: A lucky issue?)


Like COAP, COAP2 is much larger than a regular issue and is largely composed of old material.


Unlike COAP, COAP2:



  • Includes a fair amount of new material, something like 35-40% of the issue.

  • Will stick around permanently (or as permanently as C&I itself)

  • Has a single theme!


Indeed, it's a "conference issue"--all about Conferences & Speaking.


After a brief introduction, the issue includes four sections:



  • Coping with Conferences

  • State Conferences and Others

  • The Speaking Life

  • Conference-Speaker Arrangements


There is an HTML version available from the home page--but please do not print out the HTML version in full, as it will use a lot more paper (58 pages as compared to 44 pages for the PDF, in an informal FireFox print-preview test).
