The regular musings of accidental Canadian archivist, with interests in history, Internet culture and more. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Two tales of friends and their information needs.

Boxing Day is the biggest shopping day of the year in Canada, with many deals to be had. I myself picked up two hardcover books, at a hefty 30% discount.

The regular musings of accidental Canadian archivist, with interests in history, Internet culture and more. Sunday, February 8, 2009. Why isn't there DOI for the popular media?

The final item of today's post is something that I woul...
