Go To Hellman: 2010 Summary: Libraries are Still Screwed
In May, I was pleased that the editors of Library Journal were putting together an "eBook Summit" virtual meeting to address some of these issues, and even more pleased to be invited to write a series of articles to help frame issues for the Summit. The event ended up being titled ebooks: Libraries at the Tipping Point. For me, the highlight of the summit was Eli Neiburger's talk on How eBooks Impact Libraries. This talk is destined to be known forever as the "Libraries are Screwed" talk, and if you've not viewed it I urge you to do so forthwith.

Librarians as Enemies of Books by Randolph G. Adams
It is said that, upon one occasion, an academic person met Mr. A. Edward Newton. Newton has written extensively on the subject of book-collecting, and, as any dealer will attest, has probably done more to increase the appreciation and the reading of English literature than many a professor or librarian. To Newton the academic announced, "I am a scholar; to me a photostat is as good as the original." Newton swiftly countered, "Any man who would make a remark like that, would probably just as soon kiss a pretty girl through a piece of plate glass." The librarian should be careful how he makes light of the collector's enthusiasm lest he reveal his own shortcomings.

DLIST - OPACs, Open Source and Patron Perceptions: a look at what happens (and what can happen) when open source software is a library's public face
More libraries are moving toward using open source software (OSS) as their public faces. Meeting public expectations for ease of use and Web 2.0 features in these interfaces is one of the reasons libraries are making this change. Community plays a vital role in supporting OSS, and as more libraries use OSS the community of user-librarians is strengthened. Involving the public more actively and directly in this community would further strengthen it, and would support the values of OSS and of libraries.

The Future of Libraries as Places | The Institute For The Future
So libraries are more popular than ever. Another unanticipated outcome of the end of cyberspace. But what's most interesting is just how different the activities of these 21st century undergrads are from what I used to do in libraries during the 1990s. Whereas most of my peers looked to libraries as a place of solace and quiet focus, for these students they are intensely collaborative spaces.

The powers-that-be seem to be responding to this on some level. A few years ago, NYU invested a significant amount of money in revamping the two lower sub-surface levels of the library. These spaces are buzzing around the clock, bringing together the three catalysts of creative, collaborative knowledge work - snacks and coffee, computers and networks, and deeply motivated men and women.

Free book usage data from the University of Huddersfield " "Self-plagiarism is style"
dave pattern has liberated a bunch of checkout data from huddersfield, in a data format that's plausibly reusable and browsable. what do you do with all of this? there's some network graph to create and then slice through to see how that book network lives and changes over time. n.b. recommendations "people who checked out x also checked out y" are weird in public libraries because of parents checking out books for their kids - not necessarily bad weird, just not the same as Amazon. which is ok.

Techdirt: Landgrab For Ownership Of Library Catalog Data
There's been an interesting (and somewhat troubling) behind the scenes fight going on concerning library catalog data over the past few months. The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) is a nonprofit, made up of member libraries that basically tries to help facilitate access to information among libraries. That seems like a good thing. One of its offerings is WorldCat -- basically a big online catalog of library collections, so that it's easy for anyone to find books that are available at other libraries. This, obviously, seems quite useful, and many libraries agree and are a part of WorldCat. However, a month ago, OCLC announced new policies for WorldCat that effectively allowed OCLC to claim ownership over the records that any library put in its system -- and, upon doing so, limiting what libraries could do with that data (such as, say, giving it to competing cataloging services).

In this case, the answer actually is in the chapter discussed here–Chapter 12, Liblog Profiles, which makes up somewhat more than half of The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008: A Lateral Look.

And, for those who somehow missed it over the past week or so, the book is on sale for an introductory price of $22.50 from now through January 15, 2009, only from Lulu.

SF Signal: Do Science Fiction Fans Hate Libraries?
OK that might be a little extreme, but hear me out. My friend Megan is a librarian at a major metropolitan library. She recently asked me "why don't sci-fi and fantasy readers use libraries?" I was taken aback - I figured that genre fans everywhere used libraries and that would include readers of science fiction. But no, apparently they don't.

The Ubiquitous Librarian: Where can I find this book? Floor plan maps in the catalog
It is always fun helping a friend at another school find information via their library’s website. I guess it would be like visiting England or Australia where they speak the same language, but the accent is just a bit different. Anyway, I discovered a very cool finding aid to help users locate items in the stacks.

Stefano’s Linotype » Blog Archive » Rule #1 for Surviving Paradigm Shifts: Don’t S**t Where You Eat
And, let me remind you: OCLC’s own monopoly sits on a pile of data that is the easiest pool of data to replicate ever: it’s relatively small (if 0.1% of the facebook users cataloged one book a day, they could replicate the entire OCLC catalog in 2 years), it’s 90% factual therefore un-copyrightable (only categorization can be considered a form of subjective creation, certainly not copying as-is information from the book itself like title, author or publisher), it’s created by people that do not work for OCLC and that can, therefore, provide their services for others if so inclined, and it’s data that very rarely changes.

OCLC has re-released their “Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat® Records.” Tim Spalding has created a very useful diff on the OCLC policy released today and the one that was released (and taken down) on Sunday. Along with some mostly typographical edits, there are a few major changes that libraries need to be aware of.

LibraryTechNZ: Tagging in real life
I was in a session with Stephen Abram earlier this week, where he talked about how people describe their use of libraries. For many, it's not about getting books out – it’s about the human contact, the community. This tagging project seems to me to be a great way to up the human interaction element, online and in real life.

America's Most Dangerous Librarians
They looked like they had walked off a film set, the two men standing at the door of the Library Connection in Windsor, Connecticut, as they flashed fbi badges and asked to speak to the boss. Director George Christian courteously shepherded them into the office. By the hum of the Xerox machine, one agent explained to Christian that the bureau was demanding "any and all subscriber information, billing information and access logs of any person or entity" that had used computers between 4 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. on February 15, 2005, in any of the 27 libraries whose computer systems were managed by the Library Connection, a nonprofit co-op of library databases. He handed Christian a document called a national security letter (nsl); it said the information was being sought "to protect against international terrorism."
