I had no idea you were so distinguished and it might indeed be nice to read some of your works.
'Distinguished' is pushing it! But, ever eager for new readers, I've put a list in my reply to nightspore, should you be interested.
In my experience, academics are very slow to know about these schemes. The PLR scheme we talked about before applies only to borrowings from public libraries, and since most academic tomes are in university libraries it wouldn't earn more than a few pennies for most academics - or so they may believe. My novelist friends are generally well aware of it, however. What's more surprising is that many UK academics aren't aware of the ALCS either...
