It is hard to believe now, but when I started my academic career, you only needed an up to date publications list if you were applying for a new job. Now, not only is is vital for regular quality reviews but it even effects the departmental budget on a year to year basis. When I started updating mine, I thought I would also create an online archive of my publications, only to find that some are buried on old floppy disks somewhere in that shoebox of 200 disks over there. However, I do have pdf files of the more interesting recent ones, which are linked form here, and I’ll add the others over time as I find them.

Conference Papers
I have two items from my Paper at ISSOTL09 in October 2009 – a video (28mb) and a pdf of the slides (6mb). The slides are not visible on the video because of the camera angle. The ‘camera’ was, as usual, my current mobile phone, a Sony Ericsson K770i which provides adequate recording of lectures. There a slide on the end that I did not get to since I was running over time.
