CNI Conversations is now offered in a podcast-only format.  The original conference call format has been discontinued (though may be used again in the future); instead, CNI Executive Director Clifford Lynch will provide periodic 20-30 minute updates on issues of interest to the CNI community beginning with the February 10, 2011 podcast.  CNI Conversations continues to be available at http://conversations.cni.org/ (to subscribe to the audio feed add http://conversations.cni.org/feed to iTunes, or any podcatcher).  

In the February 10, 2011 podcast, Cliff talks about the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) call for white papers that propose ideas for the SBE sciences for 2020.  Cliff also discusses the 2011 Personal Digital Archiving conference, as well as issues surrounding e-books.
