I tend to have several blog entries lying around the place: often they just fall off the edge when my interests move on. Here is some text from one which I left there just that bit too long:

> Library blogs are a mixed lot. I am always on the look-out for interesting combinations of reflection and experience. Bob Molyneux has been an intriguing contributor since he began working with Equinox, appearing in two blogs, [open-ils](https://open-ils.org/blog/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) and the [Equinox blog](https://esilibrary.com/blog/?ref=lorcandempsey.net). [John Wilkin](https://scholarlypublishing.org/jpwilkin/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) and [Alma Swan](https://optimalscholarship.blogspot.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) are always suggestive, but seem to have faltered. 

Well, John has gone and done an [entry](https://scholarlypublishing.org/jpwilkin/archives/12?ref=lorcandempsey.net) – which blows this one up 😉 He talks about the discrimination of opennesses (‘open’ is a word which is meaningless [imho](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/001547.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) without qualification) and it has sparked some interesting interaction.  
Alma has not done a blog entry. She has however produced yet another report: *Key concerns within the scholarly communication process: report to the JISC Scholarly Communication Group*, March 2008 \[[Word document](https://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/aboutus/workinggroups/topconcernsreport.doc?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]. I will return to this report, in particular to the section on accessibility (in the sense of being able to find, get, use and share stuff). Reading through the recommendations, I notice a profusion of suggestions for further studies: there are not enough good consultants in the UK to do this much work 😉
