[Sca-librarians] TI Format

[Loren D Mendelsohn]

It seems to me that neither of these reports really does 
away with the semi-scholarly nature of TI full-length 
articles.  They focus more on new features.  Two of the 
most prestigious journals in the sciences, Science and 
Nature, both have extensive news, event reports, and 
occasional humor sections, but that does not in any 
diminish the prestige of the journals.  Also, I think that 
it's necessary to provide a less focused venue like TI for 
briefer articles.  Compleat Anachronist issues are always 
focused on a single topic, and as often as not, are single 
long essays or articles rather than collections of smaller 
articles.  As such, the prospect of publishing in CA is 
perhaps more daunting than publishing in TI.
