Hoi described her planned thesis topic. Kate mentioned a relevant paper she was in the middle of writing for presentation at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.information-online.com.au\/\">Information Online 2007<\/a>. Why is it my favourite? Because I have been rabbiting on about new technologies like blogs allowing academics to bypass academic libraries as the conduit for scholarly discourse.<\/p>\n<p>If this type of hook up is happening on our blog, then I&#8217;m sure that it is happening everywhere in all disciplines.  Kate might have talked about her research to Hoi if they met while attending the same function, but the chances are slim. While blogs may not become formal sites for scholarly exchange, the informal linkups between researchers are increased.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to republish my posts  from <a href=\"http:\/\/librariesinteract.info\">librariesinteract.info<\/a> here, but I will every so often add a pointer.
