ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST SERIALST Commercial Digest pilot project: Since June 2008, the SERIALST moderators have been experimenting with compiling and distributing a Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e., publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers. We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational content beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not within the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST (see: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html) If you have thoughts or feedback about the Commercial digest, or other aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you. Contact information for the SERIALST moderators is at: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html#contacts This week's digest contains 3 messages: 1) Project MUSE News: Save the Date - ALA Midwinter User Group! 2) 11th Annual Digital Libraries Symposium at the 2009 ALA Midwinter Conference 3) Results of 2008 Library Vocabulary and Core Reference Tools Surveys (1)------------------- Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:09:56 -0500 From: Melanie Schaffner <melanie@muse.jhu.edu> Subject: Project MUSE News: Save the Date - ALA Midwinter User Group!
