Looks great? Are any of the papers available online?

At the moment only the introduction is available to view online (link at the bottom of the Ashgate page given above).
As and when any of the individual chapters are self-archived elsewhere, we’ll ask the authors to place a note here to that effect. (In the meantime, if you think it would be useful, please ask your library to order a copy!)

A nice and very positive review of DRSCA has appeared in Journal of Documentation 67.4 (2011), pp. 742-4, by Clare Thornley. (Not to my knowledge open access, but available at Emerald Insight for those with institutional access.)

Another brief but serviceable (and overall approving) review of DRSCA is in the Online Information Review 35,6 (2011), pp. 974-5, by Alireza Isfandyari-Moghaddam. I think I’m pleased by the final line: “It is of value for a much broader audience than it is likely to attract.” (Though I wish we could prove it wrong…)

The Alireza Isfandyari-Moghaddam review is also available on Emerald which, as above, needs an institutional login. One interesting thing is that both reviews are listed under ‘Library and Information Studies’ which is an indication that we are in fact reaching a broader audience (although this of course may result from Ashgate’s marketing strategy) .
