I recently attended JCDL 2008 to present a poster on OER Recommender with Brandon. As usual, the interactions with people were the best part of the conference. Monday night I enjoyed good dinner with at Lidia’s with David Tarrant and Max Wilson, PhD students from the University of Southampton England. Max’s dissertation work is on co-citation as predictor and measure of article impact. Co-citations being the other citations that get cited in articles that cite your article. His research indicates that it converges more quickly than just citation count. Interesting.
Tuesday morning I got in a run along the Allegheny and saw up close a few of the 466 bridges of Pittsburgh as well as the inclines.
