but news of the going-out-of-print of The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008 made me finally decide to get the book, especially as it has been discounted to $20 plus there was a coupon code which took the price down to $15. Walt Crawford is coming out with another analysis of librarian web logs soon, and so is taking the first such study off the market.
Since this blog has been around since 2001, it was included in that earlier study, including a profile and metrics. I guess I can't resist seeing something I created mentioned in print, plus I know Walt has 1) worked very hard to analyse the library blogosphere and 2) has done so during a time of personal oeconomic crisis after losing his job. I've been meaning to get the book for awhile, to get the full analysis and to help Walt out, but have put it off as a little too expensive for vanity. But $15 I can do. I hope it helps support Walt's other publishing endeavours. If you're interested in the book, follow the link at the beginning of this post. There's also But Still They Blog, which is a follow-up study published after the first. It's still in print, also at $20. PDFs for both books are only $10 each. For more information, including the coupon code that gets you 25% off your order, check out Walt's post on the subject. The coupon code is good through November 29th.
