Q + LA Amy Poehler - LA Times Magazine
The library represents that branch of government that’s like the smart kid—the teacher’s favorite. And the library always wins. They get whatever they want. Everybody loves them—nobody can say anything. People who work in the library think they are so much better than everyone else. And what’s really funny is we’ve been doing Q&A’s about our show, and people from local governments have said, “You guys nailed it about the library.” We were just making it up as a joke on the show, but I guess everyone hates the library.

Escape route - The Boston Globe
The men — and in the evening, the women — who made up this work team, the inmate library detail, tended to be the more educated among the inmate population. They are exactly the kind of people who might go back into their neighborhoods and, like Kat, serve as positive role models, and even leaders. I came to realize that if we used the prison library to systematically develop these values and skills, we would be creating small, but potentially influential, cadres of post-prison citizens. If each prison library were to send even one Fat Kat back into each community, it would already have a significant effect.

Pinboard Blog
One of my favorite places to work is the reading room of a large municipal library. It's a kind of half-private space where you have access to endless books, a desk with a little green-shaded lamp, and someone stern to shush people when they get too chatty. Working quietly with others is not forbidden, but you don't go there to socialize. You have room to spread out your materials and you can dive deep into the things that interest you. And you're surrounded by other people doing the same thing.

If you currently receive Time Inc. or Forbes periodical content electronically from Gale or any provider other than EBSCO, you and your patrons will lose access to that content over the next year. While there will remain alternative, high-quality titles in all information providers' products, there will be an impact on users, especially those who access content through long-term statewide subscriptions.

Stanford signs Google Book Search agreement, endorses court settlement

Google agreement expands digital scanning of millions of Stanford library books.

Stanford University has affirmed its support for the recently amended Google Book Search settlement agreement, which is now before a federal court, by expanding its earlier agreement with Google Inc. to digitize its library materials.

Stanford’s expanded agreement, which establishes it as a Fully Participating Library under the terms of the amended settlement agreement, is a milestone in Stanford’s commitment to the program and to the provision of public access to millions of its books.

Museum 2.0: How to Design from Virtual Metaphor to Real Experience, and an Example
The library created a book drop for every tag. To see pictures of their setup, go here. But for simplicity's sake, imagine a library that does this for just one tag, say, amazing books. When you return books to the library, you’d have a choice: drop it in the regular book drop or the book drop for amazing books. Then, the library staff would take the books in the “amazing” book drop and put them on the shelf called “Books other patrons recommend.” The librarians could also scan those books and add the “amazing” tag to them so that it is captured in the collection database.

If you're in Michigan and you have a library card (and if you don't have a library card, what's wrong with you?), there's a great deal going from now to the end of September, combining two of my favorite things: books and nature. You can go to your local library and get a free pass for any state park (98 of them!), good for seven days (usually there's a $6 vehicle fee, unless you've got an annual pass). It's part of their new Park & Read program:

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.

Is Librarianship A Profession? | Wildly Appropriate
Just noticed (now that I’m using del.icio.us again) that at some point last year, Brian Kerr sent me a link to this sobering blog posting entitled Is Librarianship A Profession? Raises some eyebrow-knittingly uncomfortable questions that everybody who’s in or thinking about “library school” needs to read. It’s not all doom and gloom, and I’ll be a spoiler by quoting from Ms. Salo’s conclusion:

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.

WAIS-discussion digest #37: More on Public Libraries - alt.wais | Google Groups
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 92 16:35:20 -0800
From: Steve Cisler <s...@apple.com>
Subject: Re: Electronic Publishing and Public Libraries

My background is in public libraries, though I work in a corporate
library and my job, like Brewster Kahle's, is to promote the use of our
technology in all sorts of libraries (and similar institutions). This is a
reply to his posting about Reading Rooms in public libraries.

About five years ago a consultant named Keith Henson called me up
with the idea he called "Gutenberg Express" and he wanted to know
what libraries could afford to participate in an on-demand printing
operation where the information was shipped weekly on digital platters
the size of laserdiscs in order to build an archive of electronic works for
library users to access. There would have been printing and binding
machines (similar to ones used for phone directories). This project did
not achieve lift-off.

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.

Public production libraries will be built in sisterhood with the public libraries that now exist. Within each production library will be the facilities to produce print, audio, visual, and database material. "Librarians" will serve as technicians, maintainance, and repair people. Production libraries will give people a larynx through which to speak. The media seized, corporations silenced, and the State under relentless scrutiny, we will reconect and celebrate who we are.

Family Man Librarian » Losing librarianship?
Since my job change at the end of September, I’ve noticed that my professional interests and reading habits have shifted quite a bit. In particular I’ve noticed that most of the library blogs to which I’ve subscribed don’t seem as relevant any more. Consequently I’ve unsubscribed from most of them. I wonder, am I losing librarianship? I’m proud to be a librarian, don’t get me wrong. And I’m not exactly thrilled about all aspects of corporate life and the silly pap that I sometimes need to consume as part of that. But I do really like my new, expanded role focusing on search and taxonomy, with the opportunities for learning new things and expanding my horizons. As part of that I’m looking around for other sources of information in the blogosphere and elsewhere that will help me keep well informed and current, and I don’t have as much time for keeping up-to-date with purely library-related things.

Changes at Google Scholar: A Conversation With Anurag Acharya
In its own quiet way, Google Scholar has become a major force in scholarly communication. For many researchers, faculty, and students, it is the first search tool used, challenging the popularity and utility of veteran databases licensed—often at considerable cost—by academic and corporate libraries. Yet announcements about changes in the constantly evolving service seem to occur rarely and with little ballyhoo. For example, did you know that Google Scholar has launched its own digitization project, separate from the high-profile Google Book Search mass digitization? Or what about the new Key Author feature? Or the expansion into non-English languages and non-U.S./Western European content? A conversation with Anurag Acharya, the designer and missionary behind Google Scholar, helped us catch up on the latest developments.

Library 2.0: An Academic's Perspective: It's the Mobility, Stupid
I was especially happy to see the item about new scholarship. But the mobile phones item caught my eye because I've been frustrated over the past few years by the fact that libraries haven't put much effort into optimizing their services for mobile devices, be they phones or anything else. My own library hasn't been much inclined to take this on for our Web site, despite my proposal to focus on this need.

I was struck by this passage in the report: "The ability of almost all phones to access email, instant messaging, the web, and calendaring increases the ways in which students and instructors can communicate—and is eroding the digital divide." Just take a walk around campus and observe the cell phones in use, and you can see the potential truth in this statement.

Only Collect « a historian’s craft
And the work is: Only Collect; that is to say, collect everything, indiscriminately. You’re five years old. Don’t presume too much to know what’s important and what isn’t. Photocopy journal articles, photograph archives; create bibliographies, buy books; make notes on every article or book you read, even if it’s just one line saying “Never read this again”; collect newspaper clippings and email them to yourself; collect quotes; save your ideas for future papers, future projects, future conferences, even if they seem wildly implausible now. Hoarding must become instinctual, it must be an uncontrollable, primal urge. And the higher, civilizing impulse that kicks in after the fact is organization, or librarianship. You must keep tabs on everything you collect, somehow; a system must be had, and the system must be idiot-proof. That is to say, you should be able to look back on it six months for now and not be completely stymied as to why you’ve organized things that way.

How can we build it so it remains a highly functional facility 20 years later? With our talent, our IT infrastructure and notebook computers, we must begin to think and talk about this. The tradition and power of reading won’t change, but the nature, scope and challenge of managing information in meaningful ways will—it’s doing so already.”

Handling Special Characters | The Social OPAC™
I am wading through the SOPAC/locum code, trying to understand it so I can implement it for a client.

I noticed in the connector file (locum_iii_2006.php), that the prepare_marc_values() function is removing anything between braces, and that there is a comment indicating uncertainty about how III is encoding.

Looking at a record returned by my client's database, I found the following as the author's name: "Chopin, Fr{u00E9}d{u00E9}ric,". I'm betting III is using Unicode since Unicode 00E9 is é, which correctly translates Chopin's first name as Frédéric.

Called Reference Extract, the project is being developed by the Online Computer Library Center and the information schools of Syracuse University and the University of Washington. OCLC is an international cooperative that shares resources among more than 69,000 libraries in 112 countries and territories. A $100,000 grant from the John D. and Catherine T.

hughmcguire.net · Tolstoy and the iPhone
It’s a beautiful little machine, which we expect from Apple. As an iPod it’s as good as you’d like — with the nice addition, for me, of video. But the biggest shock for me was how pleasing it was to read novels on the thing. I was surprised by how much I liked the elegant ereader application, Stanza. I read Cory Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, and I started reading - and continue to read - Tolstoy’s War & Peace. I even chose a number of times to read on my iPod in bed, instead of the paperback non-fiction & hardback fiction books I had brought along. War & Peace is, actually, a dream to read on the iPod. (Who would have thought?).

blog.ecorrado.us » New OCLC Policy on WorldCat Records Re-released
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.

LibrariAnne · library tech
Speaking of texting, Ed Vielmetti just wrote a great article about mobile interfaces for Library Journal. Now that I’m addicted to my BlackBerry, I’m always pleased when I find that one of my favorite sites has a site that works well in the BB browser. I use the Internet on my phone more often than I ever thought I would (I actually feel like I get my money’s worth, or close to it, despite the ridiculous charges).

Mass Digitization of Books, by Karen Coyle
In October 2005, a second library-related mass digitization project was announced: The Open Content Alliance (OCA).3 The OCA distinguished itself from Google in a number of ways. First, it would only digitize works in the public domain. Second, it would be "open." That is, it would make information about its technology available to others. Third, it was library-driven (although it receives funding from significant technology companies like Adobe and Microsoft). These latter two were in direct response to some criticisms of the commercial and secretive nature of Google's project. Scanning would be done by the Internet Archive using a system that they developed called "Scribe." The Internet Archive claims its digitization process costs around 10 cents a page and takes from 30 to 60 minutes for each book, depending on length. Announcements that the

John Wilkin's blog " Did I say "theoretical"? Openness and Google Books digitization
"John– while it may not be appropriate to start this in a comment, but I am quite taken aback by your seeming implication that “open” includes what google is doing and what UMich is doing." - Brewster Kahle

UM Library: Buhr Shelving Facility
The Buhr Shelving Facility uses a compact storage arrangement to maintain an optimal environment for library materials and reduce costs. Because books are shelved by size and location number instead of call number, the stacks are closed to the public. However, materials can be paged on demand at Buhr, or requested as explained below.

The dynamics of Machiavellian intelligence — PNAS
The “Machiavellian intelligence” hypothesis (or the “social brain” hypothesis) posits that large brains and distinctive cognitive abilities of humans have evolved via intense social competition in which social competitors developed increasingly sophisticated “Machiavellian” strategies as a means to achieve higher social and reproductive success. Here we build a mathematical model aiming to explore this hypothesis. In the model, genes control brains which invent and learn strategies (memes) which are used by males to gain advantage in competition for mates. We show that the dynamics of intelligence has three distinct phases. During the dormant phase only newly invented memes are present in the population. During the cognitive explosion phase the population's meme count and the learning ability, cerebral capacity (controlling the number of different memes that the brain can learn and use), and Machiavellian fitness of individuals increase in a runaway fashion.

Golden Swamp » Update on universal access to all knowledge
TED has posted a talk from December 2007 by Brewster Kahle, talking on the subject of A digital library, free to the world. The talk is a terrific update on what it takes to digitize all of the world’s books, recorded audio, and movies — and a progress report from Internet Archive on the vast amounts of this work that has already been done. Brewster Kahle is a star of the early Internet era as the quintessential digital librarian. His increasingly towering achievement is essential in fulfilling the promise of a global knowledge ecology.

The Small Object Steno Pad » Storage is no longer an issue.
I found this library card catalog (see the whole thing here) with the stand yesterday at the antique mall. Today was spent removing the interior rods that held the old library cards and putting in a new bottom to each drawer. The good thing is most of my products are small so they fit in drawers like this and in this unit…

Presidio Branch Library History - SFPL.org
Presidio Branch Library was established in 1898 as the sixth branch in the San Francisco Public Library system. The Branch was opened at its current site in 1921. The Italian-Renaissance building was built with $83,228 in Carnegie funds and designed by G. Albert Landsburgh, who designed three other branch libraries - Mission, Chinatown and Sunset - as well as the Golden Gate Theatre and the Warfield Theatre. John McLaren, famed superintendent of Golden Gate Park, designed the original landscaping for Presidio’s picturesque site.

Learning to Fear the Semantic Web (Ftrain.com)
I would say, based on my far-from-authoritative reading of the TOS, and given the suit against George Mason University, there is now a precedent; that is, it is within the realm of possibility that if I passed thousands of web pages through OpenCalais and decided to adapt the resultant format for my own use in a way that Thomson Reuters disliked, I could get a fat letter from some lawyer someday demanding damages, accusing me of creating a derivative work based on their proprietary taxonomy, in violation of their terms.
