Well, now that both contracts are signed, I can talk a bit about my next two writing projects.
First up, I’ve agreed to write an article for Library Journal. The topic? A new reference/instruction project here at UTC involving podcasts and iPod rentals. We’ve got grand plans that we hope to put into practice over the course of 2007 that involve video and audio production and leverage our new website (just launched today!). We’re looking for integration and experimentation from our reference/instruction team, and I have faith they’ll come up with uses that I can’t now imagine. But for LJ, I’m going to write up the entire planning process, from grant writing to how we’ll handle the various challenges involved in a project of this scope.
Second…I’m currently under contract to write a book for Linworth Publishing, tentatively titled Biblioblogging (almost certainly that will change), along with my partner in crime Karen Coombs. I plan on blogging portions of the work, research, and process involved in this writing as well.
These two things, along with the new job…well, let’s just say that 2007 is promising to be interesting if nothing else.

Congrats on both! Writing a book … damn. Can I say I know an author when you’re finished … I mean one other than someone who authors say, emails or something?
Hey Jason! Congrats! For some reason your posts didn’t hit Bloglines for me until today, but I definitely wanted to wish you a hearty congratulations on both writing opportunities (and the new position!). I know you and Karen are going to to a great job on the book!
