More updates from Bloomington

Here's a link to Ammon Shea's blog at OUP USA, asking the very sensible question, "Why don't more people go to conferences?" Visit http://blog.oup.com/2009/06/conferences/.

On DSNA's visit to the Cordell Collection

Here's a nice illustrated article from the Indiana State University news service, about the Cordell Collection and DSNA's visit during our Bloomington meeting. I'm only sorry the photo of Baretti's Dictionary of English and Italian Languages is too small for you to see what a wonderful book it is. Visit http://www.indstate.edu/news/news.php?newsid=1820.

The Story behind Hobson-Jobson

At the 2009 DSNA meeting in Bloomington last week, Traci Nagle, who won the Urdang-DSNA Fellowship in 2008, presented a paper on her fellowship-funded research into the origins of "Hobson-Jobson." Benjamin Zimmer of the Visual Thesaurus offers a discussion of that paper at his Word Routes blog: check out http://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/1874/.

We look forward to sharing other souvenirs, reflections and commentaries on the meeting--just send us the links!
