Best Mondays
First Monday has published 690 papers in 120 issues, written by 823 different authors, since May 1996. Every month, a new issue appears and the previous issue and its contents becomes part of the First Monday archives. Many of these archived articles are continually accessed by our readers and deserve recognition for their timelessness and utility. To commemorate its sixth anniversary, First Monday established a new feature called Best Mondays, highlighting the most frequently accessed articles. This record is based on statistics in First Monday’s logs. The concept for Best Mondays originates with Student Editors, Cheryl Anderson, Scott Lucas, and Lucia Testin, at the time graduate students in the School of Library and Information Science at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois.
