  Academia - an online magazine and resource for academic librarians - published by YBP Library Services
Bugeja and Dimitrova estimate the half-life of the citations they've studied to be under four years.
Bugeja believes that helping to address the decay of online footnotes needs to be at the top of concerns for academic libraries, whose core mission should be "serving researchers as ultimate repositories of unassailable fact." He fears that academic librarians have strayed by embracing computer technology before fully understanding the risks.
Bugeja, 52, grew up in the New York City area, "in the shadows of Manhattan," where an enduring memory for him is the sight of newspapermen, notebooks in pocket, running in and out of the Daily News Building.

 Technology, Community, and Education in Neoliberal Society: A Review of Michael Bugeja's Interpersonal Divide - Summer ...
Bugeja (2006) cites additional concerns when he bemoans that technology was supposed to enhance the educational experiences of students in the classroom, but instead, but students are surfing the Internet on their laptops during lectures, making cell phone calls, or playing with their iPods.
Bugeja further reveals a sense of impatience and intolerance when he suggests that those who read his book and interpret it as hyperbole may be addicted to technology themselves (Bugeja, 2005b), failing to recognize the very real reasons why we should not want to return to that time.
Bugeja's failure to cite scholarly sources that may have supported his arguments weakened his claims and caused the book to seem like a polemic written by an author who is out of touch with how communication has changed with the advent of computers and other technology.

 News Service: Iowa State University
News of the study by Michael Bugeja, director of ISU's Greenlee School of Journalism, and Assistant Professor Daniela Dimitrova of the Greenlee School was published this week in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
For instance, Bugeja noted, communication researchers will not be able to replicate findings in his and Dimitrova's study because more footnotes will have disintegrated in the three months since the study was completed.
Bugeja and Dimitrova analyzed footnotes in articles published from 2000 to 2003 in Human Communication Research, the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, the Journal of Communication, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, and New Media and Society.

 Bugeja discusses Interpersonal Divide
Bugeja used this example to demonstrate the increasing influence technology wields on the lives of American university administrators, faculty and students.
Bugeja believes the money American higher education has invested in technology since 1995 is part of the reason for the disappearance of 2,000 full-time tenured faculty positions.
Bugeja challenged both university faculty members, administrators and students to emphasize interpersonal intelligence and human communication with colleagues and friends to create an educational environment where people and human relations come first.

 Oxford University Press: Interpersonal Divide: Michael Bugeja
Bugeja analyzes the "interpersonal divide"--the void that develops between people when we spend too much time in virtual rather than in real communities--and makes a case for face-to-face communication in a technological world.
Bugeja investigates the impact and motives of media ecosystems that have polluted the Internet and other digital devices with marketing ploys, delivering to consumers a global mall rather than a global village.
An accomplished poet, an ethicist and a journalism professor, Bugeja aims to assess "changes resulting from the Technology Revolution of the 1990s." He's careful to note at the start of this admirably clear volume that he has not written a book of "social panic." But he has written one of social high anxiety.

Bugeja responds that media divide rather than extend consciousness by putting the user in two places at once, in a way that a mobile phone user's attention is split between her location and the place she is calling.
Bugeja makes a reasoned case that what is wrong isn't technology itself, but our inability to moderate what we do to reasonable levels.
A benefit of Bugeja's book is that it calls upon readers to think, to write, to discuss and to reflect about the issues it raises.

Michael Bugeja's book is geared toward writers of any caliber, especially those who do not appreciate scholarly approaches to poetry composition.
This text is hand's on and continues to be a best-seller after almost a decade because the instruction is based on effective teaching, rhymed and free verse approaches, and several levels of exercises at the end of each chapter.
If this is the kind of thing which poetry 101 classes are being fed today, it's no wonder the world is so crammed with people who write bad poetry (one rejects the idea of calling them poets).

In the High Court, Mr Bugeja put forward an alternative argument that, although some value should be placed on the returned video, the value of the returned video should be its value to Mr Bugeja.
Bugeja did not deal with the situation where they had done so and it apparently did not matter that it was clear from the surrounding facts that the value attributed to the car by the parties was a false one.
