This whole living at the cut­ting edge thing is really frustrating.

I’m trying to find aca­demic – or at least schol­arly – texts address­ing the cul­tural and tex­tual implic­a­tions of RSS, ebooks and hand­held deliv­ery; the Web as a visual medium and the impact of Flash/QuickTime/slideshows and so on; and ana­lyses of Web sites as sup­port for non-Web media.

It ain’t easy.

Mind you, today I’ve been search­ing the Web rather than actu­ally search­ing aca­demic data­bases or – McLuhan forbid – the repos­it­ory of dead trees known as the Uni­ver­sity Lib­rary. This I will do tomor­row. I just thought it was unlikely I’d find up-to-date material… 

One thing I did find though was ref­er­ence to one of delve’s papers, so that made me happy. Wrong sort of con­ver­gence, but fun.
