Professional Reading: New Articles from June 2006 Issue of Searcher Now Online
The June issues of Info Today’s Searcher magazine (edited by Barbara Quint) is now available. Online you’ll find:
+ Is the Price of Cheap Chicken Bird Flu? (via Searcher)
Resources to monitor and learn about the avian flu.
+ A Failure to Communicate: Politics, Scams, and Information Flow During Hurricane Katrina (via Searcher)
“As Paul Piper and Miguel Ramos note, Katrina was two devastating disasters in one. On top of the hurricane itself was the horrendous lack of response and communication after the fact. Piper and Ramos examine what happened, and more often didn’t, in Katrina’s wake from an online perspective, addressing issues such as housing and missing persons as well as the fraudulence that seemed to permeate from all angles.”
+ Searcher’s Voice
BQ has a few thoughts.
NOTE: Not available on the web is an extended interview with the founder and editor of this publication. We will see what we can do about gaining online access.
