The book

I met with Cesar today, to show him the first draft of the book. He had a lot of good feedback, including discussion of header (Left page: Book Title, Right page: Authors). He likes the idea of a one page layout, rather than facing pages. Hmm. Drop case the first letter of each article? Indent 2nd and following paragraphs of each article. Add more white space. For page numbers, he's thinking centered, but is open to whatever we think. He is going to look into a small graphic to put at the end of each article (a soccer ball, perhaps?)

Table of Contents: Center each section name - use small caps for TOC, section names, etc, if desired. Change 1) to 1. Change: César R. Torres, Honrar el juego o la falsa dicotomía entre atacar o defender to two lines, so it would be
1.  Honrar el juego o la falsa dicotomía entre atacar o defender,
     César R. Torres ..............................................................................................p#

Overall, he was very happy with how it is coming. 

He showed me the mock-up of the cover, which will add the press logo on the front, as well as some illustration by a famous cartoonist. He is going to give the illustrator until 11/15 to get the cover image done, or look elsewhere. He wants to meet again during the week of 11/16, preferably on M,W, or F. Times are listed in my calendar. We'll plan our next meeting at that time, but the last time we'll be able to meet in person is 12/14th, because he will be on sabbatical for the spring and summer semesters. During that time, he will be abroad for most of the spring semester. He is meeting with his co-author early in January, so he hopes to have something to show him then.

I will need to proofread carefully, as the formatting does not carry over from Word into InDesign.

Meeting with Carole Pelttari

Carole Pelttari wrote and asked if I could help her with some documentation for her APT portfolio. We met, I showed her Scopus, helped her set up Google Scholar, her bepress dashboard, and we talked a little bit about Web of Science that we do not subscribe to, but how she might get information she needed (through her affiliation with Northern Illinois University, or another colleague who had access).
