Lots going on, it seems. I have smattering on unrelated items you may find of interest:
Farecast. An online tool to help you know whether to buy those tickets to Aruba now, or wait until next week. Very easy to use with nice information design.
Social Issues portal. News of this site came out a couple of days ago...put out by Gale. Nice for a snapshot of "current hot topics" of the sort that PAIS is so good at. Makes sense to include Crime, Animal rights, Genetic engineering, Islamic fundamentalism...but working women? That one was new to me, as far as a controversial topic. But my Americanism may be showing...
New York City Council has proposed the library stay open for 6 days a week. News clip from LJ. And Hennepin County recommends a merger with Minneapolis library system. We're headed to Minneapolis next week, to visit my brother and their family... (thanks to our awesome reference librarian on staff for the link.)
And we are all hats in hand for Mr. Vonnegut today. 624 works in WorldCat.

Actually... according to his WorldCat Identities profile Mr. Vonnegut has 739 works in 1,829 publications in 36 languages. But figures aside, an exceptional person and talented writer. He will be missed.
Ah...I was only looking in English. Good catch Eric!
