So the big< /a> news is about Google and libraries. I don't feel the need to comment on this right now, as you can find plenty of other places for that. However, here are a few angles I haven't seen discussed elsewhere in the library blogosphere.

• Librari es and the Internet
  
  "More broadly, the Internet can profoundly improve the relationship between libraries and society. For example, there are two major libraries in my town -- a college library, and a public library. My library card works in both places. I used to favor the college library, because there was open WiFi access there -- which meant, among other things, that I could use LibraryLookup from my laptop to find books in the stacks. Recently, though, the college shut down its open access point. And from an IT administrator's point of view, I can understand why. Not long after, the public library installed an open access point. So now it's my favorite spot, and lately I notice other mobile professionals congregating there too." [Jon Udell's Weblog
  (Click over to read Jon's story about getting locked in the library, too!)


• "A quick calculation using the figures above suggests an average scan rate of 3200 volumes per day (assuming 365 days/year for 6 years) at the University of Michigan site alone." [Tito Sierra on the WEB4 LIB mailing list]


• "An even quicker calculation shows that they will need to digitize 2.25 books _a_minute_, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year to digitize 7 million volumes in six years." [Roy Tennant on the WEB4 LIB mailing list]

It's times like this when I wish Karen Coyle had< /a> a blog.

New Track for Public Librarians at
Internet Librarian!

New Track for Public Librarians at
Internet Librarian! 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

Michael Stephens is organizi ng a track just for public librarians at October's Internet Librarian conference. This is most welcome news because PLA books sessions at its conferences too far in advance to address "current" trends, while most public librarians I know feel LITA is beyond them. I think we can fill a real niche here, especially since Michael plans to focus on practical advice and tips, not theory. Even better, he's aiming the sessions at small- to medium-sized libraries, those that need this the most.

He's already got a few ideas that he wants to implement, but he's also asking for comments, suggestions, offers, and discussion from all public librarians. Got a topic that intrigues you? Heard about a "top tech trend" but you're not sure how to actually implement it? Have some ideas of your own? Share them all over on Michael's post. This is your chance to help build a track that addresses YOUR needs. Help us prove that if you build it [the public librarian track], they will come!

Then make sure you register for Internet Librarian (October 24-26, 2005). :-)

“Why the Archive is Building an ‘Internet Library’ Libraries exist to preserve society’s cultural artifacts and to provide access to them. If libraries are to continue to foster education and scholarship in this era of digital technology, it’s essential for them to extend those functions into the digital world. Many early movies were recycled to recover the silver in the film. The Library of Alexandria — an ancient center of learning containing a copy of…

Hacking The Internet Archive For
Lawsuits

Hacking The Internet Archive For
Lawsuits 07/12/2004 03:57 PM
A fascinating post over at Lawmeme discusses a case where someone's lawyers were accused of hacking into The Internet Archive in order to access certain archived web page that could be incriminating. The company in question, perhaps realizing the problems with those web pages, had asked Archive.org not to archive their sites. Somehow, however, they claim the law firm of the other party "hacked" into archive.org to access the data anyway. It's not at all clear how someone could hack into archive.org to access the material, but as James Grimmelmann notes, this seems like a legal issue worth watching. It didn't become a major issue in this particular case, but it certainly is likely to come up again in the future.

Digital Junkyard: A Competitor To The
Internet Archive?

Digital Junkyard: A Competitor To The
Internet Archive? 12/09/2003 03:50 AM
Brewster Kahle's Internet Archive project is really a great thing, but should there be only one such archive? It looks like they may be getting some competition in the form of the digital junkyard being built at the University of Waterloo. They claim it's the "world's largest" archive of digital content - but I wonder if they're really larger than the Internet Archive which is quite large and growing every day by leaps and bounds. It's going to contain all sorts of odd content, though, including "everything from movie outtakes to the sound bites left on the editing floor during the shooting of a music video." They say they plan to make it available to anyone who wants access, but don't say how they plan to do so. Right now, however, it's not easy to find at all, and after a quick search, I've given up until someone with more time/knowledge of this project points it out.

Sony Pictures on Wednesday revealed plans to digitize its top 500 films and make them available in various digital environments within the next year. According to CNET, the company is planning to sell and make films available in flash memory for mobile phones in the upcoming year, and it also will further develop its digital stores for owning downloaded films. "We want to set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple CEO Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry," Michael Arrieta, senior vice president of Sony Pictures said on Wednesday at the Digital Hollywood Conference. "I'm trying to create the new 'anti-Napster.'"
