My old homepage was about 4 or 5 years old. A lot has changed in that time, both on the web and in my life. This new site takes advantages of these changes, and hopefully, makes it easier to get to the information you need.
Some new features of the site include:
New navigation
The ability to comment on the news and stories
More syndication options (RSS)
More content, including greatly expanded research and teaching statements
New login feature where I can post special information for colleagues
While I still have some blog entries to migrate from the old site, all the other information you could get from the old site is here. Take a look around, and let me know what you think.

Well, it’s real! I got my copy yesterday. Click more for the cover. I think they did a much better job on this cover. Good work Neal-Schuman.
Digital reference has become a significant movement in the world of traditional libraries and, increasingly, in the digital library arena. This white paper seeks to provide a background in the digital reference movement, highlight current work and research in the area, and some examples of how digital reference can be integrated into digital libraries.

The article, entitled “Digital Reference Research: Fusing Research and Practice” presents the Digital Reference Research agenda developed as a result of a three-day symposium at Harvard University. It shows how the research agenda ties directly to digital reference and library practice and argues that research and practice must connect on a meaningful level in order to prevent unusable research and untestable practice.
