No sooner than I publish a little seven line poem about my friends the Seven Deadly Sins, than that Vatican names Seven New Ones! All this time, I thought Elvis Costello was right to sing “There’s no such thing as an original sin.” [list from our friends a Boing Boing]

Friends at the North Carolina Writers’ Network announce their new Joomla-powered website which is mucho more beautious and mucho more interactive. Nicki Leone did a bang up job on it from start to finish.

Wise to the Web in Miami

I’m off tomorrow to Miami for the Web Wise 08 conference put on by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (funders of Folkstreams.net amongst other projects). I’ll be speaking on Thursday in the “Power of the Users” section going through 12 slides in 15 minutes. Almost fast enough to qualify as an animation. One of the treats will be a reception at the Wolfsonian Museum right down the street from where I’ll be staying on South Beach.

Why do people publish in Open Access journals?

I’m asking you.

Just talked to a job candidate, who must remain nameless for now, whose work is involved in looking into who publishes in Open Access journals and who doesn’t and why? This got me to thinking of the various factors that academics weigh when deciding where to publish an article (also part of his work) and what kinds of things can be done to influence those choices.

Ideas?
