Cites & Insights 11: 8 (September 2011) is now available for downloading at http://citesandinsights.info/civ11i8.pdf
The 32-page issue (PDF as usual, but each essay is available as an HTML separate) includes:
Bibs & Blather (pp. 1-2)
Requests for help if your public library uses Facebook, Twitter or both, and a quick note about another tweak to C&I.
Writing about Reading: A Future of Books and Publishing (pp. 2-32)
The Diigo tag for the items discussed here was “eb-vs.-pb,” but that’s not quite right. The bulk of this lengthy Perspective considers items that, to one extent or another, either favor ebooks over print books, vice-versa, or–better yet–compare the two complementary textual forms of book (not that there aren’t others, e.g., audiobooks).
As lagniappe, the first 3.3 pages offer a future of books and publishing (not the future, but a future)–one set of possibilities that I might personally find desirable, looking ten years out and “while I’m still alive”–say 35 years out.
