Irish Blogs

Google Scholar. This looks like a great concept; we'll have to see how valuable it really is. A lot of scholarly material is locked up in the UMI ProQuest databases and I doubt that Google will be able to gain access to much more than the abstracts of these papers, if even that. I found one of my papers cited a few times, including two Spanish language entries. Interesting!

I chose not to submit my MA thesis to UMI. Something about me paying them to include it so they could turn around and sell copies of it bothered me. I posted it in Ulukau, our online Hawaiian digital library, instead. For free. In .pdf or text, with music transcriptions, with audio samples of all the examples cited in my paper; something that you can't do in a book.

Fortnight has a wonderful interview with Irish poet Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill.  One of her more interesting observations is that 'the shift from Irish to English unleashed madness throughout the population.....the emotions were stuck in Irish and didn't make it through to English. So their emotions would burst out in a totally inappropriate way over totally inappropriate things.'
