A while back, I made the decision to change the licensing of my work that has a Creative Commons license (even though you say you shouldn’t - I figure these things are still fluid enough to be forgiveable for now) and for all future work on the blog Flickr and wiki (other venues may differ) to be […]

Published by October 30th, 2006 in General, Conferences and Research/Writing. 0 CommentsAs mentioned, NLS2006 is just over a month away now. The finish line, in more ways than one, is drawing ever closer and I’m definitely in the stage of checking things off, completing lots of small administrative tasks, and starting to pull files together to write my final programme report.

OCS update
Published by October 30th, 2006 in General, Conferences, Research/Writing and Open Source. 0 CommentsWith just a month until NLS2006 (more on that later), pretty much everything I need to develop software or data-wise is done.

New venture to keep an eye on
Published by October 16th, 2006 in Research/Writing and Open Access. 0 CommentsOA librarian hints at a new project that sounds fascinating:
“I’ve been thinking of starting a new blog as a step beyond informing other librarians about open access. Don’t know what I’d call it but I’d like it to be a completely new idea about librarians’ direct involvement in publishing.”
The role of librarians in publishing is […]
Things have been quiet lately because we moved house this weekend. Our new home is just 25 minutes by bus to the beach, still close to the Addison Road Centre, and we can see glimpses of the city at the end of our street.
