The impact of outliers: Practice theories and informetrics

February 6th, 2010

On my way back from the iSchools conference now: an excellent event with lots and lots of interesting new ideas about digital collections. My own presentation (”The impact of outliers”) on the study of practice theories was well-received, though it is certainly on the far side of typical iSchool interests (and I was obviously the only presenter from Oklahoma, lol!) But I’m happy with it, and I picked up a couple of useful suggestions. The conference paper is now in the Ideals repository.

I got to see my own “real” dissertation advisor (not the one who’s formally listed for me in the MPACT database, lol, but the original one who left Syracuse before I defended), so that was a nice and unexpected reunion.

And I also got the best souvenir ever from Marcia Bates!!!!
