If you’d like to have an autographed copy of the special hardbound edition of Give Us a Dollar and We’ll Give You Back Four: Oregon and Washington Library Benefits and Spending, you should probably order it in the next day or three: It typically takes a week and a half (or longer) for a hardbound version (the casewrap process seems to be the culprit). I’d be happy to sign your copy during the Oregon/Washington Library Associations conference–I’ll be there from Tuesday evening (April 23) through Friday morning (April 26).
Or, to be sure, you can download the free PDF version (did I mention free?)–and if you have a duplexing color printer (e.g., most cheapo multifunction printers) and a stapler with 4.5″ throat, you can produce your own booklet version. You’ll find instructions on that process here. Yes, I’d be happy to autograph those as well, but if you just download it to work with on an e-reader, I’d rather not deface ereaders…
I look forward to seeing y’all during the conference, possibly at the preconference on Open Access (with some last-minute research added) or at one or more of my other talks (one on micropublishing, one on Give Us a Dollar…). I also plan to be at part of the Meet & Greet, the Society Gaius session and the President’s Reception, and probably hanging around the Hilton for much of Wednesday and Thursday…
