Do not try this at home: playing with arXiv.org
Having written about reforming the academic publication process, and having suggested that arXiv.org be used to archive workshop papers for HCIR’09 (and ’07 and ’08), I decided to upload (with the authors’ permissions) papers from the JCDL 2008 workshop on collaborative information seeking that I co-organized last year with Jeremy Pickens and Merrie Morris. I read the info on the arXiv.org site and decided to give it a shot. It turned out to be less straightforward than one might imagine.
