LJ Computer Book Prepub Alert

This isn't the sort of thing I usually post here, but -- I write the Computer Media book review column for Library Journal, as well as their new computer book "prepub alert" column. Now, both are found online-only -- so, if you order computer books for your institution, you'll need to look there rather than in the print version. The first "prepub alert" is online now; the first computer media review column will appear on Oct. 16. (You don't need to be a subscriber to view.) Please help get the word out to the appropriate person in your institution -- thanks!

Hi Amelia -- Great question. Unfortunately, the answer is "not yet." I've been arguing for this as well and have passed your and similar comments on to the LJ folks as ammunition. If and when they start offering a feed, I'll be sure to post it here and on the lists.

in that case, i would LOVE for you to plug it on your blog whenever a new one is up--i hate missing out on these things, and i just don't have time to hunt for them.

Amelia: Short answer, will do! Longer answer, they're "working on" the RSS feed issue, and hopefully I'll have good news to announce here soon.
