Balanced Libraries, the book has arrived
A while back we ordered Walt Crawford his latest book, "Balanced libraries : thoughts on continuity and change". We don't order these books ourselves directly at Lulu. No. We have our book supplier (from Germany actually) and that always takes a wee bit longer with the more exotic imprints. It works however. It is our second book from Lulu which we succesfully ordered.
According to de National catalogue (NCC) we are the second library in the Netherlands which added this book to their collection. The other one being Groningen, albeit it doesn't show up in their own catalog yet.
Our catalog record for the book can be found here. Via SFX the catalog record links through to discussion pages at Walt at Random and the linked list of referenced blogposts.
Luckily we have a short holiday next week. You may guess who is borrowing this book currently.

Great to hear. Since this book has no ISBN (by choice), you should have received it from the primary Lulu printer even though you ordered it indirectly. A question related to that: Is the paper cream-colored book stock or flat white? (It should be cream; Lulu books with ISBNs can come out either way, depending on how they're ordered.)
I look forward to your comments!

Hi Walt,
Yes the book is printed on cream like paper. It's just that sombodu in Germany ordered it through Lulu, rather than we ourselves. And yes, I will add comments, musing and nots on your blog, and mine probably as well.
Just an observation, it is not very common to exchange ideas with authors directly, except perhaps from some researchers at our own Uni. Strange, but interesting.

Hoi Danniëlle,
Natuurlijk. Maar op dit moment zijn er al wel wat reserveringen intern. Ik denk dat die eerst voor gaan. Ik ben al in hoofdstuk 3. Dat betekent zeer goede voortuitgang.

Beste Wouter,
Niet over dit item maar over rankings, waarover jer eerder schreef: ken je het IHE-rapport
"College and University Ranking Systems: Global Perspectives and American Challenges"van vorige week?
Zo neen dan kan ik het je sturen.
