But LISFeeds has no original content–it’s purely an aggregator, right? So I don’t consider that comparable. (Not saying there’s anything wrong with it, but it’s not comparable to Library Stuff, ExLibris, Cites & Insights, etc.)

Walt, LISNews is but one portal. LISFeeds.com is back up and running. Right now I am still figuring out how to adjust the “planet” back-end to embed show players. Beyond that, it aggregates some sample podcast feeds so that one doesn’t have to make a big investment like downloading iTunes or Juice.

With the launch of the LISNews Netcast Network, frankly we’re trying to do regular radio in a newsreel distribution system. In conjunction with the two other program producers we are trying to produce periodized content that isn’t textual. The team’s content is hosted on LISNews but could theoretically be hosted elsewhere if we wanted to manage that hassle.

Christina: LISNews is very different, as a portal; it’s not a periodical medium. It’s valuable, but it’s different.

I had, in fact, omitted LLRX.com, and that is in this category. Sabrina Pacifici has made this work for 12 years now, and it continues to be a real service to the law library segment (and beyond).

Greg: You’re welcome.

I’ve updated the post to add LLRX.com and the link to the newer Carnivals.

I miss the Carnival, but I could have hosted more so partly my fault
I would almost put LIS News in this category for things that serve this audience that keep going, oh, and LLRX. That’s sort of in this category, no?

Thanks so much for the kind words. Your use of the word “eloquent” with regard to the post made my day, a day that has seen many kind things said by many amazing people.

I did want to point out that, if you are seeking links to the latter half of the Carnival run, you’ll find them on the front page of the wiki: http://infosciences.pbwiki.com/

Again, my sincere thanks for the positive remarks.
