Looking Back with an Eye on the Future
Slides from Stephen Marsh's presentation in Moncton Friday, which I unfortunately missed. PPS format, which means it won't run in Firebird (ran fine in Internet Exploder). More...
Web Search: How the Web has Changed Information Retrieval
Web Search: How the Web has Changed Information Retrieval
The author sent me a nice note and this, a link to his most recent paper on the semantic web, which I pass along. The underlying premise is that a web page isn't an appropriate medium for metadata - a web page should be thought of, at best, as a 'snapshot' of an information resource. More...

Creative Destruction and Disruptive Innovation
I'm still at AACE in Phoenix. Web access has been a bit spotty, especially in my hotel room. So the newsletter may be disrupted a bit. More...

Three Legal Setbacks for Media Industry
More coverage of the setbacks faced by the music industry last weekend. The three judgements combined created what the author called a 'perfect storm' of setbacks for publishers. More...
Saba Licenses Suite of Patents From IpLearn

Don't Bother Me With Objects!
Don't Bother Me With Objects! I've Got a Course to Teach!
Scott Leslie calls this the best learning object presentation of the last 18 months, but having seen Willie Horton present once or twice in the past, I am not really surprised. Too bad this presentation is in PDF (the one way worse than PowerPoint for presenting slides). More...
Happy Festivus, Everyone
Happy Festivus, Everyone
For some reason the news seems to get slower around this time of year. I guess it's just the Festivus season, or any of the other half dozen or so holidays centered around the last week of the year (though I wonder whatever happened to Saturnalia - it just seems a natural for today's age). Anyhow, because it's so slow, I'll send a newsletter only if there's news, which means you may get one tomorrow, you may get one Friday, or you may not. More...
