Cites & Insights 12:11 (Fall 2012) available--special added issue

Looks like there will be 12 issues of C&I this year...

An added Fall 2012 issue of Cites & Insights is now available for download at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i11.pdf

The issue is 20 pages long. A single-column 6x9" version intended for online/ereader reading is also available, at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i11on.pdf. The single-column version is 43 pages long (and tables do break across pages in some cases): Please don't use this version for printing!

This issue consists of a single essay (also available in HTML form, if you absolutely hate PDF--but that one prints out as 40 pages, so again please don't use that version for printing):

Libraries Give Us a Dollar and We'll Give You Back Four (2012-13): Commentary, Part 2 pp. 1-20

This essay consists entirely of notes about Chapter 20 of Give Us a Dollar and We'll Give You Back Four (2012-13): "Libraries by State." It also adds a new table for each state section (except DC and Hawaii), showing libraries in each size category.

I'm doing this added issue because one fairly long and reasonably timely essay is almost done--and should be paired with another shorter and somewhat more timely essay. Since I'd like to publish those some time in November, and since adding those to this 20-page essay would make for an uncomfortably long issue, I'm putting this out now. Oh, and do go buy the book...these notes aren't nearly as useful without the book.

Cites & Insights 12:10 (November 2012) available.

The November 2012 issue of Cites & Insights (12:10) is now available for downloading at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i10.pdf

The issue is 32 pages long. For those who prefer to read on e-devices, the single-column 60-page 6x9" edition is also available, at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i10on.pdf

The issue includes three essays, each also available as HTML separates from http://citesandinsights.info (or, if you're reading this on or from a blog, via the title headings below):

Libraries Give Us a Dollar and We'll Give You Back Four (2012-13): Commentary, Part 1 (pp. 1-22)

Casual commentary on a few of the interesting items in Chapters 2-19 of Give Us a Dollar and We'll Give You Back Four (2012-13). You may have seem slightly different versions of some of this commentary on Walt at Random; that will continue for some time to come...

The CD-ROM Project (pp. 22-24)

Seeing whether six first-rate Dorling-Kindersley explorational CD-ROM titles will work in a current operating environment. I wish I had good news here...

The Back (pp. 24-32)

Hi-fi fun and other nonsense: Seventeen little rants. See if you can spot which one was added at the last minute for copyfitting reasons...
