hillary 12888; W 1
by Barry Wellman 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Couldn't help noticing in Oct 24 NY Times that 12,888 people have "friended" Hillary Clinton on MySpace. My spies tell me that only 1 person has "friended" George W. Bush. But that person, of course, is Osama Bin Ladin! As George says, quality beats quantity. And I am having a silly day.

by Charles Ess 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Dear AoIR-ists, On behalf of the AoIR Executive Committee - we request expressions of interest from internet researchers in Europe who would wish to host the 2008 AoIR conference and serve in the role of Conference Chair. (While preference has been expressed to locate the conference in southern Europe in that year, we are happy to receive expressions from any part of Europe.) The Conference Chair role is a major one, involving significant administrative work and financial responsibility. It is the Executive's expectation that Conference Chairs will have: experience in conference organisation; access to assistance from other local staff and students; and be prepared to make a strong commitment to the success of the conference - e.g., by seeking out additional financial support for the conference in the form of sponsorships, local institutional support, grants, etc. The Conference Chair will work along with a Program Chair, who is responsible for the academic program of the conference, as well as a member of Executive Committee in organising the conference. If you are interested in working with AoIR to site and organise the 2008 conference, please email Charles Ess <cmess(a)drury.edu> with a brief statement about where you will host the conference, the advantages of that location, your experience and qualifications, and any local support you may be able to arrange.

concerns about new biblio programs
by Barry Wellman 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

I'm a little concerned about people getting involved in bibliographic programs which might not be supported in a few years, Open Source or not. Our investment in building our bibliographies tend to cumulate. That's why I stick with Endnote, despite its propietary nature. Even after being bought by ISI, it seems to have staying power. And with my 16K items in my bibliography, I'd hate to have to re-enter. Or am I missing something? Cheers, Barry Wellman _____________________________________________________________________ Barry Wellman S.D.

Re: [Air-l] concerns about new biblio programs: Endnote issue
by M.B.Gaved 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

I'm happy with open or closed source as long as the program uses some form of open standards that allow import /export. I've recently had a bit of a nightmare with Endnote. I've been collaborating on a paper for OTM COMINF'06[1} with a colleague from another university. He uses Endnote 9, my university gives me Endnote 7. My colleague Marcus sends me his Endnote 9 bibliography, I can't read it. Endnote 9 appears not to be backwards compatible with Endnote 7. I'd really welcome any suggestions how we overcome this problem: anybody else sorted this out? We had a few goes at exporting from E.9 in various formats. cheers!
