A Must Have Book For Writers, Publishers, and Authors: A Book Inside - (USA)
A Book Inside, How to Write, Publish, and Sell Your Story I consider myself to be fairly involved in the publishing world. I’m a writer, publisher, and book marketing expert. I make my living by either being published, or through publishing myself. As a result, I have a really good grasp on the ins and outs of the publishing world. One of the more frequent questions asked from writers or those interested in becoming an author is how to get published. What is involved? How does the publishi

Digital Reference In Academic Libraries…08.10.09 - (USA)
From the Digital Reference post Presentation at Princeton : “…I hope that I succeeded in my talk in focusing on four key points : For a variety of reasons, IM software (and widgets) are more popular than ever among libraries that want to offer synchronous online reference , as new digital reference services are launched using IM (as opposed to using web chat clients from QuestionPoint, Altarama, etc.) and other libraries (like Temple) are moving to drop their longstanding subscriptio

Top 10 Tips Working Developers Should Know about Windows 7 - (USA)
I've been tweeting about Windows 7 lately but I had a flash tonight that I should write some of this stuff down. Here's my list of the Top 10 Things Working Developers Should Know about Windows 7 . I say "working developers" because if you're a .NET developer you either have run into these questions or you will, so why not put them in one place. These are in no particular order. Also, in case it's not clear, each heading here is a link. Windows 7 includes .NET 3.5SP1 If you're d

The MFI Loves Me – and I Love Them Back - (USA)
Yesterday, I posted a recent column in which I reviewed several new books and films for and about LGBT families. It turns out the conservative Massachusetts Family Institute, which took the lead fighting against marriage equality here in the Bay State, didn’t like it so much—or maybe they did. In their latest e-newsletter, they included an entire section about my column. (After the jump.) It seems I provided them with an easy reference on books they want their members to be on the alert for, s

The Library of Babel - (USA)
In his 1941 short story “The Library of Babel” the Argentinian poet and fabulist Jorge Luis Borges imagines a universal library, infinite in extent, containing all human knowledge. Such a library appears at first a mysteriously realized but beautiful dream. “When it was proclaimed that the Library contained all books, the first impression was one of extravagant happiness. All men felt themselves to be the masters of an intact and secret treasure.” Soon, however, the dream reveals a nightmar

71. Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell by Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë - (USA)
One of the most abject failures in the history of publishing occurred in 1846. Three aspiring young authors, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, using their Aunt Elizabeth's legacy, paid for the publication of a slim volume of their poetry using the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. It sold two copies. The hundreds of unsold books that remained — the original edition had been of a thousand — were left languishing in the storerooms of their publishers, Aylott and Jones. As if anticipating t

The Peoria Area Chamber of Oddities - (USA)
The Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce has been making some strange moves lately, even for them. They got behind an effort to bring — of all people — Karl Rove to town, ticking off Democrats on the County board — which is to say, almost the whole board. To add insult to injury, Jim McConoughey, head of the Chamber’s umbrella company Heartland Partnership, sent an e-mail that was perceived as very derogatory toward organized labor. They’ve since backpedaled on both fronts, but it may be too
