Update: For the most current information about Digital Scholarship publications, see: Digital Scholarship Publications Overview.

There have been a number of rapid changes in my digital publications since my resignation from the University of Houston Libraries due to growing differences of opinion between me and certain administrators about the critical importance of supporting digital library development, open access, and scholarly communication change efforts as a high priority (see "In Surprise Move, Bailey Resigns from U. of Houston" in the November 9, 2006 issue of Library Journal Academic Newswire). Some confusion has resulted from these publication changes, so here's a clarification of them.

My active digital publications are now branded under the name "Digital Scholarship." There are three domains:

• http://www.digital-scholarship.org/: This is the primary, full-featured domain.
• http://www.digital-scholarship.com/: This an almost complete mirror of the ".org" domain that lacks some functionality (e.g., no DigitalKoans comments) and content (e.g., no RSS version of SEPW).
• http://www.escholarlypub.com/: Same as the ".com" domain, but I no longer publicize this domain name.

Confused? I won’t go into why there are still three domains, but here is a simple access strategy: use the ".org" domain for all publication access unless there is a hosting service failure. If there is a ".org" failure, use the ".com" domain, which is on a different hosting service.

No publications are being actively maintained on the University of Houston Libraries site, the sepw@listserv.uh.edu is no longer used, and no current publication announcements are being made on the PACS-L or PACS-P mailing lists:

• UH: Only archival versions of SEPB (up to 10/17/2006), SEPR (up to 10/17/2006), and SEPW (up to 12/18/06).

Below are the current ".org" URLs and RSS feeds for my major publications. These are the preferred links for cataloging records and Web page referrals. My intention is to try to maintain the ".org" domain; the other domains may be less permanent. It is recommended that you use the FeedBurner feeds below rather than the WordPress feeds to insulate yourself from future RSS feed changes.

Note that SEPW and SEPR are now in their own subdirectories, not in the SEPB directory.

The Blogger SEPW version has been discontinued.

When you use the Google Search Engines, keep in mind that you will retrieve bibliography section file or Weblog archive file titles with a single representative search result shown from each file. To see all hits, click on the cached page, which shows the retrieved search term(s) in the file highlighted in yellow. Also keep in mind that the search results are only as current as Google’s indexing of the site in question.

For other publications, see the ".org" Digital Scholarship home page.
