Denver Public Library?s new online service is giving city
residents access to popular eBooks directly from their homes and
offices. The Library serves over a half-million residents and 80% of
the city?s population has a library card and access to the new
service. ?This is an exciting opportunity to provide eBooks to the
city,? said Michelle Jeske, Manager of Web Information Services. ?This
year, we saw a 24% increase in the number of online library
transactions. eBooks that can be downloaded from our website fit very
well with this kind of public demand,? she added.

This site by Robert H.
Jackson is one of three pages in the series and is an educators'
resource for delivery and management of education via the Internet. It
focuses on web based learning for higher education, especially for
at-distance, adult learners but has application for web based learning
in general. This web site attempts to informally catalog (and
occasionally compare, contrast and editorialize on) the tools, topics
and issues of interest to those developing for web-based learning
initiatives. The three areas cover: 1) Issues and Resources for Web
Based Learning, 2) Software Tools for Web Based Courses, and 3)
Distance Education course catalogs and other off-campus learning
opportunities. This will be added to Education and Distance
Learning Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.
This web site is for both professional and
non-professional librarians new to health or hospital libraries. It

Sites, 4) Collection Development, 5) First Steps, and 6) Additional
Resources. This has been added to Healthcare Resources

How Do We Make Library Resources Searchable in Outlook?
"From the article, 'Today Plaxo integrates Yahoo's search engine
directly into the Outlook e-mail program. Under the deal with Yahoo,
Plaxo will get paid for channeling people to Yahoo's search engine.
The search box will be placed beside a Plaxo icon that sits atop
Outlook. Plaxo will eventually make Web searching possible from
individual e-mails, according to Masonis. Ultimately, he wants Plaxo
to search individual words within the e-mails. You would click on the
word and Plaxo would do a Web search through Yahoo.' Thanks to Searchblog for the tip. J.B.
also comments
on the deal." [ResourceShelf]
And the reason we can't integrate into Outlook searches of local
library catalogs, library-subsidized databases, or library web sites
is what?

"On another note, the research via RSS experiment is working pretty
well. Claire, who is doing a story on what effects the legalization of
gay marriage might have on school sex ed curricula, is getting some
great stories fed
right to her from Google News. Others are reporting the same.
It appears to make a difference when the research comes to you
as opposed to having to find it. I'm thinking this will be a
standard feature of my journalism student Weblogs from this point on.
Now if I could just get some teachers interested in this feature..."

Bush fears his personal e-mail would be made public
The CIO for Philadelphia, Dianah Neff, says
'It's a technology whose time is here.' Other cities have announced
similar plans but none as comprehensive as Philadelphia. Lev Gonick,
chief information officer at Case Western Reserve University, which is
spearheading a WiFi project in Cleveland said, 'We like to say it
should be like the air you breathe - free and available everywhere. We
look at this like PBS or NPR. It should be a public resource.' " [patrickWeb]
The
Public Library of Science (PLoS) is a non-profit organization of
scientists and physicians committed to making the world's scientific
and medical literature a freely available public resource. The
internet and electronic publishing enable the creation of public
libraries of science containing the full text and data of any
published research article, available free of charge to anyone,
anywhere in the world.
Immediate unrestricted access to
scientific ideas, methods, results, and conclusions will speed the
progress of science and medicine, and will more directly bring the
benefits of research to the public. To realize this potential, a new
business model for scientific publishing is required that treats the
costs of publication as the final integral step of the funding of a
research project. To demonstrate that this publishing model will be
successful for the publication of the very best research, PLoS will
publish its own journals. PLoS Biology launched its first issue on
October 13, 2003, in print and online. PLoS Medicine will follow in
2004.
PLoS is working with scientists, their societies,
funding agencies, and other publishers to pursue our broader goal of
ensuring an open-access home for every published article and to
develop tools to make the literature useful to scientists and the
public. This will be added to Academic Resources
2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

R. Crumb at the New York Public Library
R. Crumb at the New York Public Library04/18/2005 06:24 PM David Pescovitz:
Comic artist extraordinaire R. Crumb's memoir was published his month.
His only US public appearance to promote the book was last week at the
New York Public Library. He was interviewed on stage by art critic
Robert Hughes who previously compared Crumb to Bruegel and Goya. I
can't wait to read The R. Crumb Handbook! From the New York
Times:
"I want everyone to love me," he said, half-mockingly, after
explaining that he was once shocked to learn that the racial
stereotypes and violence toward women he portrayed in his work were
hurtful to many people. "Please love me," Mr. Crumb added.
A woman in the audience then shouted, "We love you!," and Mr. Crumb
held up his hands, cringing, to stop the applause.
"O.K., you love me," he responded, laughing. "You're killing me, you
love me so much. You're choking me. Now back off."

"Nokia, Samsung, and Siemens have teamed up with big names in
printers to ensure that printing from mobile phones becomes as easy as
desktop printing.
The Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium (MIPC) today announced
that mobile handset makers Nokia, Samsung, and Siemens have become
strategic members of the consortium. MIPC is an industry group founded
by Canon, Epson, and HP to drive solutions and implementation
guidelines for providing users with easy to use mobile printing of
pictures taken with camera phones.
MIPC expects to have their first set of printing guidelines
available during the second half of 2004. Existing connectivity
technology standards and solutions such as Bluetooth wireless
technology, printing from memory cards and PictBridge will be the
underlying connectivity platforms for the consortium's work. What if
any licensing conditions there will be for the consortium's guidelines
is unclear.
According to research firm InfoTrends, camera phone users will
print over five billion images in 2004. That number is expected to
grow to 37.2 billion printed pictures in 2008, when, InfoTrend
predicts, 85% of all mobile phones sold will include an embedded
camera." [infoSync
