...or, better yet, finish it.

Yes, it's been quiet around here for a while. But Rich and I have been busy. We've given well-received talks on search analytics at the IA Summit, the Emetrics Summit, and Computers In Libraries. We continue to gather case material. And now that things are settling down after a busy winter and conference season (especially busy for me, as my family moved from Michigan to New York), we're back on track.

What remains to be written? The second major section of the book, which consists of chapters that show how search analytics can help diagnose problems with and improve such critical areas as content development and interface design. We'll be posting the first of those chapters—on metadata development—very soon, and hope you'll consider commenting on it.

We hope to write the remaining chapters this summer, which should put us on track for publication toward year end. Thanks for bearing with us!
