Its table of contents is available at <A HREF="http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq.htm#Y2008">http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq.htm#Y2008</A>. As has become a recurring pattern, the top level topics of this DDQ number include Digital Preservation, Epistemology, News, Practical Matters, and Price Watch. A less usual column is Open Access, identifying the giant book digitization initiatives announced recently. The character of DDQ is evolving to include a far greater ratio of links to text than when the newsletter began 6 years ago. I hope that readers will find this useful. One squib, A Software Engineering Contribution, engendered a surprising amount of criticism and debate among some of the colleagues who preview each DDQ number. I wonder whether readers will find it as controversial as these colleagues did, and invite comment on this (as well as anything else in DDQ). Cheerio, Henry H.M.
