The Book Bench: Slide Show: Treasures from the Vatican Library : The New Yorker
This week in the magazine, Daniel Mendelsohn writes about the collection of the Vatican library. Below, a slide show of manuscripts. (Click the images to enlarge.)

Another fascinating piece in the most recent New Yorker , "God's Librarians: The Vatican Library enters the twenty-first century", looks at the recently-opened Vatican Library, which has been closed for the past three years to the public for renovations. Daniel Mendelsohn traveled to Rome and spoke with the Library's archivist (been there since 1972!), its current Prefect (church official who oversees everything to do with the Library), an older Prefect, and scholars. He takes a look at the Library's digitization efforts, its movement over the past twenty years towards open access, and its book-tracking initiative (they inserted small chips in books in order to track the movement of books within the Library).

Allan Guthrie's NOIR ORIGINALS
The new history of paperback original publishing began quietly in late 1949 with a brief article in the December 3 issue of Publisher's Weekly, stating that "Beginning in February [1950], original fiction including westerns and mysteries will be published at 25 cents in a pocket-size format by Fawcett Publications." The series, to be called Gold Medal Books, had actually already begun with two "experimental titles," both anthologies of material culled from two Fawcett magazines. The titles were The Best of True Magazine and The Best of Today's Woman.

IBPA, the Independent Book Publishers Association
For an authoritative picture of those patterns, I turned to Kenneth C. Davis. The author of Don’t Know Much About History and other bestsellers in that series, Davis also wrote Two-Bit Culture: The Paperbacking of America. He began the lengthy conversation we had recently by pointing out that “books were rare luxury items” before paperbacks came along.

A study done around the time Pocket Books paperbacks were born found that America had about 500 bookstores, most of them in large cities and most of them serving the so-called carriage trade. Books were sold in department stores too, and via book clubs such as Book-of-the-Month, whose initial offering was in fact one book per month.

Brave New World: Is eBook Exchange Wise Dot Com?
In principle it is setting itself up to be a social clearing house, linking ebook owners with ebook borrowers and promoting lending, reading, sharing and ultimately a second hand market in ebooks. Today it aims to accumulate borrowing request against a title until someone submits a contribution of $2 or more. A paid contribution secures a loan if the title is available. However the contribution is not mandatory and if no contributions are forthcoming, then eBook Exchange chooses who gets to borrow the book based on several factors, which all geared to a user’s history activity. Only one book at a time may be borrowed. However if you are contributing to eBook Exchange, you can borrow up to three books simultaneously.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seizing The Media
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.

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).

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

PALINET Discovery Tools » Blog Archive » Library Discovery Tools
Today, I gave a presentation at the SOLINET Web 2.0 Conference in New Orleans, LA. I talked about the new discovery tools that many libraries are installing on top of their integrated library systems. These new tools include such features as relevance ranked search results, search facets, spell checking, and enchanced content. Most can import content from Amazon, Google, LibraryThing, OCLC, Baker & Taylor, or Syndetics Solutions. They will display book jackets and reviews, allow users to tag records, enter comments, or make lists. Proprietary solutions include Aquabrowser, Ex Libris’ Primo, Innovative Interfaces’ Encore, and OCLC’s WorldCat Local. Open source options include University of Virginia’s Blacklight, Oregon State’s LibraryFind, and Villanova University’s VuFind. Here’s a link to the slides.

Inner Bitch - Glue Amazon to your Library
[This is an excellent book, by the way] Hey: If you're already using one of my Greasemonkey scripts to embed links to the Pittsburgh, Rochester, NY, or Gainesville, FL public library catalogs into Amazon book listings, you may have noticed that they've stopped working. This was due to a change in Amazon's book pages, but I've fixed the problem and updated the scripts. You can just install an updated script to make it all better.

LibrarianInBlack: A new library website to drool over
Looking for a new library website to "ooh" and "aah" about? If you haven't looked at the new Darien Library website (home of former wondrous aadl.org creator John Blyberg), then check it out. John blogs about it as well, pointing to some nice reviews of the site. The new site runs on Drupal 6 and SOPAC 2.0. Open source, open source, open source. The navigation is clear. The design is simple and yet appealing. I am a happy camper, especially as someone just starting a redesign with Drupal 6 myself. Now, if I can just convince everyone here to move over to the SOPAC. :)

Stephen's Lighthouse: An ATM of Books
Library users at the University of Michigan will soon be able to order print-on-demand copies of books from the university's collection-and get them in about the time it takes for a barista to whip up a latte. The Espresso Book Machine, a book-printing machine described as "the ATM of books," goes online at Michigan's library Oct. 1. Michigan says it's the first university library to install the machine.

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.

The Shifted Librarian » The Back Nine Stacks
The basic idea is that the Library Mini Golf nonprofit group will create a miniature golf course for a library, 80% of which is a standard course. The individual holes are created in such a way that they can be set up and taken down quickly, and they can be folded down for easy storage. LMG plans to work with college design school students to create the other, unique 20% of the course, which might include replicas of local buildings or other items of interest to the community. For example, t’s easy to imagine a Chicago version with a mini Sears Tower and Hancock Building. (Myself, I’d love to see a hole with kitchen utensils as obstacles in the 641.5 stacks.)
