Dear Ann and All, I think Ann alerts us to part of an overall issue regarding digital and textual scholarship, and as an organization STS might want to consider (if it has not already) a study group that would at some point issue some rationales, guidelines, directives for not only researchers but also Google and other controllers of production so that, rather than complaining individually, we can assert our needs and presence collectively. MLA does this; so does CELJ. yrs, John Bryant John Bryant, Mason 204, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549; Tel: 516.463.5470 Editor, The Melville Society, http://people.hofstra.edu/John_l_Bryant/Melville/ General Editor, Melville Electronic Library ________________________________________ From: The list of the European Society for Textual Scholarship and the Society for Textual Scholarship [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hawkins, Ann [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 1:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: loss of 'other editions' on google--please complain Dear all, You may not have noticed but Google has recently removed the 'see other editions' button from its search results. Now it's very difficult to get to more than one volume of a multi-volume work... VERY DIFFICULT. And it's almost impossible to access more than one year of a periodical,unless of course you access that work one year at a time, using the search by year feature. I'm sure the consideration is that no one actually needs more than one edition of a work for anything important. There's a button for feedback at the bottom of the pages. Please complain. Ann Ann R.
