FreePint 258 has been published and is available at

http://www.freepint.com/issues/

In this issue:

* 'Search Beyond the Web: When to Pick Up the Phone.' Online search has come to dominate the information world, but there's one 19th century tool no researcher should be without - the telephone. Risa Banks reminds us of ten situations in which picking up a phone and talking to someone in person is far more effective than any other search tool.

* 'Experiencing Information: A Personal View of the 2008 Information Architecture Summit'. Reporting from the 2008 Information Architecture Summit in Miami, Helen Lippell provides highlights of the lively and informative show focused on 'experiencing information.' As IA plays an increasingly critical role in providing information context and connections, participants learned more about how search and discoverability and the connections between digital and physical search are changing IA today.
