[Asis-l] New review of information behaviour research

[Hunsucker, R.L.]

My thanks for the two responses I received to the 
inquiry below. 

The first -- and very quickly -- was from Prof. Tom 
Wilson, Publisher/Editor in Chief of _Information 
Research_, who was of course himself closely 
involved in  all these matters.

The _New review_ did indeed die a quiet death 
when the ISIC-papers went to _IR_. I'm happy 
to have that cleared up. Thanks also to Ted Morris.
