Cites & Insights 7:12 available

Cites & Insights 7:12, November 2007, is now available for downloading.


The 28-page issue is PDF as usual (HTML versions of most essays are available at the home page). It includes:




Thanks! - A note about my new position as Director and Managing Editor of the PALINET Leadership Network (and why there was no liblog extravaganza this year).





A tiny section correcting two name problems and listing the publishers who've disowned PRISM.





"Sometimes They're Guilty," a review of and commentary on the first RIAA suit to go to jury trial.





Nine trends (including a librarian winner of the Ig Nobel for Literature--and no, the article isn't at all a joke) and eight quicker takes.





The biggest chunk of this issue--ten thousand words considering general blogging issues and library-specific blogging issues from October 2006 until recently.





Six products (including a variety of views on a certain high-profile Apple product that appears to excel at everything except its supposed primary function) and a dozen Editors' Choices and other winners.




  • My Back Pages



Six snarky little essays. As always, this one's only available as part of the whole issue.






I've revised the Word template for the HTML essays to be a little more "printlike." If you find that it doesn't work for you, let me know: I might change it back. If you don't notice a difference, that's OK too.
