Live Interview with Ken Svengalis - …May 2nd, 3:00 PM Central Time

…3:00 PM Central Time, Brian Striman and I, Rich Leiter, (U. of Nebraska) will be hosting an hour-long live internet radio call-in program. Ken Svengalis, of Legal Information Buyer’s Guide fame, will be our special guest. Please tune in.

To listen in to the show, please point your browser to: http://tinyurl.com/4m6a6x

You can call-in at 347-945-7183. Chat will also be available so you can ask questions or make comments without calling.

This is the maiden voyage of Brian’s and my experiment with BlogTalkRadio.com. At this point, we have no plans to carry it on beyond tomorrow, but, if it is a success, we may offer the show once a month, on the first Friday. The topic, of course, is legal bibliography and law library issues. We’re newbies at this medium, so I expect a few awkward moments (although we are taking measures to keep them to a minimum).

We hope…to discuss pricing practices of legal publishers and their effects on law libraries and legal researchers. Ken will also discuss the new edition of the Buyer’s Guide and we’ll speculate on implications of the Thomson-Reuters merger.

We hope to hear from private, public and academic libraries - and publishers. We also expect to have time to take calls and comments on any topics of interest to listeners.

We want to have some fun with the show, and with the medium ? it’s an experiment ? and we expect to have a good discussion, without taking ourselves too seriously.

I hope that you can join us. Please pass this along to others in your libraries who may be interested.
