Information Research Weblog

Hi Tom:
Yes, you might be a bit disapointed if people like me still keep silent, but
wait for your regular refreshing and updating messages. I confess that
became worried with your silence and was just about to contact you via other
means, to check if something happened.
I am glad it was for good reasons, and thanks for keeping me abreast of so
many interesting things that at present I have so little time to seach by
myself. I am looking for a less busy period to become an active member of
IR-Weblog.
Meanwhile, please keep this space live.
Joaquina

participating in a meeting. In this case, the meeting of the European
Association of Science Editors <http://www.ease.org.uk/>, where I was
invited to speak on 'Information seeking behaviour and the digital
information world'. I found it rather difficult to put something together
for a different kind of audience.

> The programme was an interesting one, with, in addition to my own, papers
on 'Beyond electrification: innovative models of scientific publication' by
Stefan Gradmann of the University of Hamburg; 'New models for publishing and
academic initiatives from a librarian&#180;s point of view' by Ingegerd
Rabow of Lund University Libraries; 'The Virtual Health Library, an
Approach to the Access and Dissemination of Scientific Information from
Latin America and Spain', by Jorge Veiga de Cabo of the Biblioteca Nacional
de Ciencias de la Salud. Madrid; 'Open Access Publishing: All Use is Fair
Use', by Jan Velterop of BioMed Central and 'Long-term access and humanities
scholarship' by Yola de Lusenet of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and
Sciences.

> It's anticipated that the papers will be published in the Association's
journal, European Science Editing, which is, itself, openly available
<http://www.ease.org.uk/ESE29_3p69-100.pdf>, nine months after publication
of the paper copy, so keep an eye peeled for it.
