[Asis-l] New issue of Information Research

[Prof. Tom Wilson]

A new issue of Information Research is now up and running at
http://InformationR.net/ir/ - it's devoted mainly to papers from a recent
conference on digital libraries, held in Finland last September.

I've just finished a bulk mail to the 2,684 people on the 'registered readers'
database - and, of course, about 200 of the addresses turn out to be 'dead' -
mainly, I think, because of people moving on to other jobs, or students leaving
their university for work. However, there are occasional other problems, like
mail servers being changed and all the old addresses being dead. I'd have
thought it was simple matter to re-route messages sent to the old address.

About 20% of the 'dead' mailboxes are either hotmail.com or various yahoo sites,
so I'm thinking of barring such addresses from the database - they are more
trouble than they are worth. However, if you are among those who signed up with
a previous address, please remember to re-register.
