The final edition of "Crawford's Corner" appears in the December
2000 Library Hi Tech News--with a 3-month lag between what I
wrote and when you'll see it, as usual.
I am pleased to announce the availability (for free: this isn't
an ad) of my new experimental digitally-distributed "newsletter"
on libraries, technology, media, and stuff:
Cites & Insights: Crawford at Large
--------------------------------------------------
It's like Crawford's Corner, only fresher (2-3 day lag between
final copy and "publication"), bigger (the first edition is 24
print pages, but future editions should be around 12-16 pages),
even broader-ranging, and--unfortunately--not
as well edited. Did I mention that it's free?
The December 2000 issue includes an introduction, 6 quick
takes on current trends, 3 months of PC Values, 8 "cites"
(articles worth reading), 8 articles used as springboards
for commentary, 11 snarky discussions of specific products,
"the convergence chronicles," and a review watch summarizing
27 review articles in 13 categories.
Cites & Insights: Crawford at Large is available at
http://cical.home.att.net
or indirectly from my general Web site at
http://walt.crawford.home.att.net
You will need Acrobat Reader 4, which is freely downloadable
(there's a pointer on the cical page); the newsletter is
designed for printing.
Apologies for mild cross-posting: this also went to Web4Lib.
Feel free to redistribute if you think others are interested.
