Update: For the most current information about Digital Scholarship publications, see: Digital Scholarship Publications Overview.
There have been a number of rapid changes in my digital publications since my resignation from the University of Houston Libraries due to growing differences of opinion between me and certain administrators about the critical importance of supporting digital library development, open access, and scholarly communication change efforts as a high priority (see "In Surprise Move, Bailey Resigns from U. of Houston" in the November 9, 2006 issue of Library Journal Academic Newswire). Some confusion has resulted from these publication changes, so here's a clarification of them.
My active digital publications are now branded under the name "Digital Scholarship." There are three domains:
Confused? I won’t go into why there are still three domains, but here is a simple access strategy: use the ".org" domain for all publication access unless there is a hosting service failure. If there is a ".org" failure, use the ".com" domain, which is on a different hosting service.
No publications are being actively maintained on the University of Houston Libraries site, the sepw@listserv.uh.edu is no longer used, and no current publication announcements are being made on the PACS-L or PACS-P mailing lists:
Below are the current ".org" URLs and RSS feeds for my major publications. These are the preferred links for cataloging records and Web page referrals. My intention is to try to maintain the ".org" domain; the other domains may be less permanent. It is recommended that you use the FeedBurner feeds below rather than the WordPress feeds to insulate yourself from future RSS feed changes.
DigitalKoans:
Open Access Bibliography (OAB):
"Open Access Webliography" (with Ho) (OAW):
Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB):
Scholarly Electronic Publishing Resources (SEPR)
Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog (SEPW):
Note that SEPW and SEPR are now in their own subdirectories, not in the SEPB directory.
The Blogger SEPW version has been discontinued.
When you use the Google Search Engines, keep in mind that you will retrieve bibliography section file or Weblog archive file titles with a single representative search result shown from each file. To see all hits, click on the cached page, which shows the retrieved search term(s) in the file highlighted in yellow. Also keep in mind that the search results are only as current as Google’s indexing of the site in question.
For other publications, see the ".org" Digital Scholarship home page.

In my earlier posting ("2006 Digital-Scholarship Use Statistics"), I explained why my publications were mounted on three different servers in 2006. The SEPB use statistics reported here do not add new requests to the numbers previously reported for Digital-Scholarship.Com (1,734,415 requests) or Digital-Scholarship.Org (27,304 requests).
Let’s start with the University of Houston server (I use analog for analysis). There were 1,045,270 successful requests for SEPB files, 2,863 average successful requests per day, 891,366 successful requests for pages, and 2,442 average successful requests for pages per day. (A request is for any type of file; a page request is for a content file, such as an HTML, PDF, or Word file). These requests came from 65,428 distinct host computers.
The requests came from 136 Internet domains. Leaving aside requests from unresolved numerical addresses, the top 15 domains were: .com (Commercial), .net (Networks), .edu (USA Higher Education), .cz (Czech Republic), .ca (Canada), .jp (Japan), .de (Germany), .uk (United Kingdom), .au (Australia), .nl (Netherlands), .org (Non Profit Making Organizations), .ch (Switzerland), .it (Italy), .hu (Hungary), and .in (India). At the bottom were domains such as .aw (Aruba), .bt (Bhutan), .rw (Rwanda), .sc (Seychelles), and .pg (Papua New Guinea).
This is the last time that use statistics will be reported for the University of Houston server, which has an archive up to version 64.
Use statistics for Digital-Scholarship.Com cover November through December. There were 89,058 successful requests and 84,119 successful requests for pages.
Use statistics for Digital-Scholarship.Org cover part of December. There were 22,144 requests and 17,627 requests for pages for the entire domain, but the number of pages and requests for SEPB only could not be determined. (Analysis was done with Webalizer.)
There had previously been over 5.5 million successful requests for SEPB files.

I have resigned my position as Assistant Dean for Digital Library Planning and Development at the University of Houston Libraries effective 1/31/07.
Effective immediately, there are several important changes to the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB), Scholarly Electronic Publishing Resources (SEPR), and the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog (SEPW) that users should be aware of:
1. These publications have been moved to my domain:
2. While the UH Libraries will archive SEPB versions up to version 64, no new versions will be published on their Website. If you maintain a catalog record for SEPB, I would ask that you update it with the new address. Next Monday’s SEPW will be published at the new site.
3. A transition version of SEPB (65) has been published at the new site. There are no content changes. This version simply makes a number of HTML coding adjustments needed for the new location. A Google Custom Search Engine replaces the prior search capability. Once Google starts indexing the new site, search results will be from that site.
4. The SEPW mailing list will be discontinued at the end work today. You can continue to get an e-mail version from FeedBurner. I’m sorry for the inconvenience of your having to sign up again; all that is required is your e-mail address.
5. The SEPW RSS feed remains the same.
6. You can continue to follow my digital publishing activities at my domain and at DigitalKoans.
Thanks for your patience during this transition.
