Post print in hand

I now have, at last, the post print of my chapter in hand. Woohoo! There is so much that I wish I had done differently, especially in terms of length (it’s way too short). Oh well. I can’t wait to get a print copy of the book (E-Journals Access and Management, ed. by Wayne Jones, ISBN 978-0-7890-3385-7) so that I can read everyone else’s chapters. I wish I could post a link to my chapter here but I’m still waiting to hear back from the publisher, Routledge, for a clarification about its post print policy. (Yeah, surprise, it’s not very clear.)

Upcoming book on e-resource management in libraries

I was interested to read Organization Monkey’s post today about getting her author’s copy of a book with a chapter written by her. The book sounds very similar to the one to which I contributed some time ago but still hasn’t seen the light of day (sigh): Electronic Resource Management in Libraries: Research and Practice, Holly Yu and Scott Breivold, eds. (ISBN 9781599048918). Congratulations to her on that!

Here is a table of contents list for the book to which I contributed (E-journals Access and Management, Wayne Jones, ed. and published by Haworth, ISBN 9780789033857):

Book chapter

Back in Feburary 2007 I mentioned that I had written a chapter for a book on ejournal management edited by Wayne Jones and to be published by Haworth Press. The latest information I have is that the book may go to press sometime this month. It’s a shame that it takes so long for a book to “see the light of day.” My chapter was a brief synopsis of my thoughts on the future of ejournal management and access. I’ve made a preprint version available via Google Docs.

Thoughts on the future of e-journal management and access

“Thoughts on the future of e-journal management and access” is the title of a book chapter I wrote and submitted late last year for a book edited by Wayne Jones entitled E-Journal Management and Access. It is the concluding chapter of that work, which will be published sometime this year. My piece will also be published in the Journal of Electronic Resource Description and Access (JERDA), also edited by Wayne.

I turned in this contribution so unbelievably late, and didn’t do as good and thorough a job on it as I should have, that I am still trying to get past the guilt I feel about the whole thing. I will investigate the possibility of linking to a pre-print version sometime soon.

EndUser 2006 photos and other impressions [Updated]

Yesterday I managed to take some photos at EndUser 2006. Here is a photo set on Flickr. Lots of friends and acquaintences were there and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them. I also got to meet a few new folks including one who introduced himself to me as someone who enjoys reading this blog. (It’s kind of nice but also odd when this happens.) I spent some time talking to Ross Singer and enjoyed our conversation about the state of ILS vendors and relations with their library partners. Some of the Library 2.0 oriented sessions were extremely popular with standing room only as well as an overflow into the hallway outside. I particularly appreciated meeting up with my old classmate, Amanda Xu. We were in library school at UIUC together and were in many of the same classes.

The evening finished up with a nice customer reception. I was able to spend more time talking to friends such as Gaele Gillespie from the University of Kansas, Kevin Randall from Northwestern University, Beth Holley from the University of Alabama, and Kat McGrath from the University of British Columbia. [It was also great to meet up with Wayne Jones, from Queen's University, under whose editorial direction I am currently working as part of a group of people writing about the management of e-journals for a book to be published by Haworth Press.] NASIG was well represented! All in all it was an eventful day.
