Dear all,
This is the IR-Weblog, just started through the free service provided by Conversant. I have initially 'joined' a number of members who have been active on the IR-DISCUSS discussion list over the past week or so, but anyone who wishes to take part is free to join.
The purpose of the list is to provide a log of 'stuff' of interest to the members. By which I mean references to new articles, books, events, reflection on your own experiences etc., etc. on themes of relevance to Information Research - widely interpreted to include information management, information science, information systems, records management, the Webby end of library management, etc., etc. Note that you can add enclosures - so, if you come across an interesting article - and it isnt' megabytes - thinking of posting it along with your message.
Note that this Weblog is not intended to replace IR-DISCUSS, which will remain the discussion list - this Weblog has a different purpose, as defined above.
There are only two rules (that I can think of at the moment):
1. Make it interesting
2. Don't spam - spammers, defined as those who advertise products or services, will be removed from the list of members.
I look forward to lots of entries from all of you.
Tom Wilson
