New York Tax Collectors Telecommuting To
Tennesee 03/29/2005 11:33 PM
As telecommuting becomes a more viable option for the modern day worker (some are even saying that telecommuti ng is necessary for national security), who better to put a speed bump on the road to progress than the state tax system? Today, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that an out-of-state telecommuter is liable for a full year's worth of New York state income tax. The court's argument is that the state of New York provided the opportunity for the job, and therefore, should be able to tax the full amount of that person's income. Luckily for the telecommuter in question, he resides in Tennessee, which does not have state income tax, so he's not being double taxed. Numerous telecommuters now face that daunting possibility. The court's myopic decision today could end up backfiring -- telecommuters will now be less willing to work for New York companies. Sounds like a case of "taxation without representation", and we all remember what happened the last time that happened.

It's Like Google Suggest, Only As A Dictionary

“There's been a lot of discussion about Google Suggest, which provides potential words and phrases depending on what you type into the query box. There's a similar tool available using a couple of dictionaries instead of the Web. It's called ObjectGraph Dictionary and it's available at http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary .

There are two dictionaries being used here; a regular dictionary and FOLDOC (Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing.) The default is regular. I started typing in esuriant and ObjectGraph began cycling through suggestions. the cool thing is that in addition to word listings, the suggestion box also contains definitions. So when you've gotten as far as esuri you'll have four relevant words and their dictionary definitions right there.” [ResearchBuzz]

This kind of feature would be nice in a library catalog, especially for phrase title searches.

2. LibData: Library Web Management System
   "The University of Minnesota Libraries (Twin Cities) announces the open source software release of LibData: Library Web Management System. LibData is a library-oriented web-based application consisting of an integrated database architecture and authoring environment for the publication of subject pathfinders, course-related pages, and all purpose web pages. This application was designed for, but is not limited to, academic and public libraries. LibData was built with open source components (Apache, mySQL, and PHP) and is being offered as open source to the library community under the GNU Public License. The software and its extensive documentation can be downloaded from Plato, a test foundry for the Libraries' Digital Library Development Laboratory (http://plato.lib.umn.edu/) and soon on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net /projects/libdata/). For more information, please contact John Butler (jbutl@umn.edu), Director, University Libraries Digital Library Development Lab, or Paul Bramscher (brams006@umn.edu), LibData Lead Developer."
    
3. Karen Coyle on DRM and on Amazon "search inside book" feature
   "The talk that I gave at Library of Congress on DRM is available as streaming video from their site. I have also produced a written version of that talk, both in a portable and a read-online version. All are
   linked from my home page: http://www.kcoyle.net. Think of this as a beginner's approach to Digital Rights Management, notan exhaustive (or exhausting!) treatment."

   "The OpeneBook Forum has a library 'special interest group' which is not much more than some librarians, some publishers, and some ebook producers getting together once a week for a conference call. Sometimes the calls are so-so and other times they are extremely interesting. (For more info, see http://www.ope nebook.org/oebf_groups/library.htm)....

   One of the more fascinating tidbits (which didn't make it into the minutes) was a publisher's rep who stated that they had excluded cookbooks from the scanned titles on the assumption that once someone found a recipe they'd not need to buy the book. By error, some of their cookbooks were included in the scanned group and before they could pull them from the search service the sales of those books had exceeded the sales of other scanned books. But they pulled them anyway, probably because they didn't have the proper agreement with the authors." To which Jenny says, "Oy! Publishers shooting selves in foot...."

Redefining "Quick Search" - IE Plug-in
for Searching Library Catalogs!

Redefining "Quick Search" - IE Plug-in
for Searching Library Catalogs! 12/03/2003 01:51 AM

"From blogdex to Veen to del.icio.us to this wonderful search plug-in for IE – mahvelous!" [jenett.radio]

Give me a moment to think of a word to write other than "WOW!"

Click on the last link in Joe's post if you are a Windows + Internet Explorer user and you like searching library catalogs. While there are several pre-configured search engines available at the site, the Searchy plug-in turns out to be another pipeline into online catalogs that sits completely outside the library world. Like LibraryLookup, anyone can configure the plug-in to work with any OPAC that allows the appropriate type of search strings, and the site even provides a Plug-in Generator.

For example, I played around with SWAN's keyword search and created a registry plug-in that allows me to type searches directly into the address bar in IE. After installing it, I can now type "sk celtic music" and the results of the search in SWAN load in the browser window. In fact, I just tested "sk pirates of the caribbean" and after a few clicks I'm now the 47th hold for the DVD!

I can also configure similar searches for title, author, subject, etc. ("st" for title, "sa" for author, "ss" for subject). I think the keyword plug-in should be visible to you on the Searchy page if you scroll down to "SWAN" - give it a whirl! The installation instructions really are as simple as they sound. (Do note that this installs into the Windows registry, though, so play at your own risk.)

SWAN runs Innovative Interfaces software, so I know III catalogs will work with this. We'll have to test others. I'm no Windows expert (not even close), but theoretically a library should be able to make plug-ins pre-configured for its catalog available from its own web site, right?

Very cool!

Sure, it isn’t a peek at what has got to be the most intriguing offering to come down the old Hasbro pike, but the image above does shed a little light on the direction the toymakers are going with the new The Original Trilogy line. Coming from a very reliable source, this logo is almost certainly the real deal (though it may only be used for promotion), and with the truly vintage feel it has, there is little doubt the figures that will come in this series will be just as cool…

Moving Past GormanGate

Moving Past GormanGate 03/14/2005 06:22 PM

Indulge me for a moment while I play catch-up and note that I, too, have added the “Blog Person” button to the right-hand column on my web site, right above the “RSS bigot” one. I note this mainly because some folks have wondered where it should link to, and I’ve chosen to point to a Technorati search for “michael gorman bloggers.”

Lots of people sent me links to the controversy while I was out sick (thanks!), and others have asked for my opinion on the whole thing. I think you know where I stand, and I don’t really have anything to add that is more complex or eloquent than what has already been written. I don’t think Gorman should resign, but I do worry that he has alienated a large contingent of people who could have helped both him and ALA in general. My biggest fear, though, is that he doesn’t even realize this (kind of like another president we all know), which doesn’t bode well for the coming year.

However, I’m not writing this to re-hash the debate. Instead, I think it’s time to move past GormanGate and look to the future, let bygones be bygones, and maybe even make a little money. You see, I think we’ll probably see many more Gorman editorials as he becomes the official President of ALA. Therefore, I think we should kill two birds with one stone and start a pool to guess what his next topic will be. This will allow us to prepare for the worst, while also providing financial gain for the correct prognosticators.

Of course, this won’t be easy, as there are so many different possibilities. I’m having a difficult time choosing just one:

• No serious conversation has ever occurred over instant messaging. Academic thoughts written as text should be read sequentially, providing a reflection period for each and every sentence in order to understand its full significance.
• No serious music has ever been listened to as an MP3. I doubt that these digital music downloaders have ever listened to an entire album in order, let alone a symphony. Don’t even get me started on MP3 audiobooks, girlfriend!
• No serious information has ever been transmitted over a cell phone conversation. To be properly savored, like fine wine, conversation must take place sequentially and in person. Otherwise, meaning and context will be completely lost to the listener, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the information being conveyed. Even the act of ordering a pizza requires close human interaction in order to demonstrate the urgency and complex nuances necessary to obtaining the best possible convergence of toppings and crust.

Add your best guess and place your bets!
