DREW in Informed Librarian Online
Received a nice e-mail from the RUSQ folks today:
Dear Journal Editor or Publisher,
The Informed Librarian Online, every librarian’s favorite service for keeping up with their professional reading, has selected an article from your journal as Editor’s Picks. Each of our monthly issues, in addition to linking directly to the latest tables of contents of 280 journals (yours included), with links to full-text as available, selects a few journal articles to highlight for our many thousands of readers.
Our June issue highlighted your article:The Digital Reference Electronic Warehouse Project: Creating the Infrastructure for Digital Reference Research through a Multidisciplinary Knowledge Base by Scott Nicholson and R. David Lankes

Too Cool
You have to check this out:
MIT Press to Publish Credibility Volume
And the publication news just keeps rolling in (and you thought all I did was preach at library conventions). Looks like MIT Press will be publishing the MacArthur series on digital media and youth, including my chapter in the volume on Credibility. They are hoping to get the series out by the end of the year.
The Digital Reference Electronic Warehouse Project
I forgot to post that the DREW paper has finally been published in RUSQ:
Nicholson, S. & Lankes, R. D. (2007) “The Digital Reference Electronic Warehouse Project: Creating the Infrastructure for Digital Reference Research through a Multidisciplinary Knowledge Base.” Reference & User Services Quarterly 46(3). pp. 45-59.
The paper provides an outline for a digital reference knowledge base and some excellent data and theories on how to build one. However, the DREW project itself has never really materialized. I would hope that folks (Paula) could take this data and put up a repository and research service.
Participatory Networks Paper to be Published in ITAL
The Journal Information Technology and Libraries has accepted the technology Brief “Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation” for publication in the December Issue. This will provide quick entry of the brief into the various databases and provide folks with a solid citation. For now it can be cited as:
Lankes, R.D., Silverstein, J.L., & Nicholson, S. (forthcoming). “Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation.” Information Technology and Libraries.
Special thanks to John Webb and the editors of ITAL for working with a paper from a non-traditional origin. Also thanks to all who have (and continue to) provide input on the paper.
