Comment on Guest Post: Open Access Publication Just Makes Sense by Kathly Janz

Agreed and well said–though think there is room for both venues–open and pay-for-subscribe. Am absolutely sure that all of us have to contribute more to make this new information flow as well respected as the “old flow” via critically reviewing papers and insisting that work with limited internal validity not go out under any venue.

Comment on Who Should Pay? Does Open Access Mean Free Access by Stephanie Smith

As a dental article publisher and practicing Thornhill dentist, I see many problems when putting the cost on the reader rather than the publisher.

Comment on Iowa City Book Festival Announces 2010 Date by Jeffrey Zaslow

Jeffrey Zaslow — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:22:19 +0000

Hi Kristi and Greg,

Hope all is well as you prepare for the 2010 Festival.

I’m the coauthor of “The Last Lecture” with Randy Pausch, “Highest Duty” with Capt. Sully Sullenberger, and I’m also the author of “The Girls from Ames” — a book about a lifelong friendship of 11 women in Ames, Iowa. All three books were NYT bestsellers in 2009, and two of them will be out in paperback in 2010. Here’s a link to my bio for details:

http://www.girlsfromames.com/the-author/

I’d be happy to consider coming to this year’s festival to speak about my recent books, especially the Ames book, if that is of interest to you. My presentations are very moving and entertaining, and include short, powerful video clips related to the books. My contact info is below. Feel free to get in touch if you have questions, and the books’ publicists can send you copies if you need them.

In any case, good luck with all the planning!

Best wishes,

Jeff Zaslow

This sounds great! Will it be archived as a podcast, in case we can’t make it to the real-time presentation?

I would just like to make you aware of an the interview series of professional women in journalism that your school’s Fall 2009, Gender and Mass Media class conducted.

It has generated quite a bit of interest so far and your very own Prof Pamela Creedon is currently completing an online book to accompany the series.

Hello,

My name is Patrick Mader, an elementary teacher and children’s picture book author. I have presented at over 70 schools, public libraries, and civic organizations in the past four years and would like to be considered as a presenter for children’s books at the Iowa City Book Festival in 2010.
To establish my credibility, I have presented at the Minnesota Educational Media Organization (school librarians) in 2006, 2007, and 2008; the North Dakota Library Association in 2007; Mason City Public Library in 2009; Minnesota Library Association in 2007; Hamline University in 2009; Bloomington Writers’ Festival in 2008 and 2009; and Young Writers’ Workshop in 2008. Please visit our website, http://www.patrickmader.com for testimonials from public librarians and school media specialists that refer to my engaging and dynamic presentations.
If possible, please forward the necessary information on how to submit a proposal to your organization for review.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Patrick Mader
