Open access to government documents?

02/10/2004 02:53 AM "I
can make your life very difficult..." In January, journalists
posing as regular citizens attempted to review documents under
Florida's open access laws. 43% of all requests were denied, and in
some cases volunteers were lied to, harassed or even threatened by
government officials.

important government documents, like the Butler report and the 911

Where librarians go to hack
Where librarians go to hack
05/03/2004 07:24 PMProving you can never be too pedantic (in a good way, mind you), I
bring you
hacker librarians:
There is a subculture of librarians that could make a significant
impact on the profession. They are women and men, youthful and
experienced alike, who all share one thing: a passion for solving
problems by creating software. They are hacker librarians.
Hacker librarians are not afraid to configure and install software.
They do not shrink from writing a program in whatever flavor of 'P'
language they favor, from Perl to Python, with the hardiest even
tackling Java and C++. Beyond enjoying the hunt for the right
solution, they like to create solutions with colleagues and appreciate
those who can provide knowledge about user needs and experiences.

08/19/2004 12:08 AMWe the Librarians? (Go Buy Dan Gillmor's Book!)
"I'm seeing tremendous blogbuzz about 'We the Media,' Dan Gillmor's
new book about the impact of blogging on journalism and news
reporting. But I haven't seen any citations for this book (even a
notation of 'purchased') in any of a half-dozen major library catalogs
I checked." [Free Range
Librarian]
I couldn't believe this when I read it, so I checked
the SWAN catalog to see if any of my libraries have it, and THEY
DON'T! Un-freaking-believable.
I'll note a disclaimer that Dan was kind enough to send me a copy
of the book and I've only had a brief chance to skim a few pages, but
even without this copy I would feel completely confident calling this
an important book about 21st Century media. I know Aaron will order it when he's
back in the office, but you other MLS libraries get your
ordering-butts in gear. I hope to talk Tony into linking to the free versions on the web, much
like we did for Larry Lessig's book, "Free Culture."
And on a side note, congratulations to the SWAN staff for a fairly
smooth implementation of the new interface. Finally - FINALLY! - I can
search our catalog from one screen, rather than having to choose to
search (step one), choosing the type of search (step two), and
entering a query into the box (step three). It's a very big
improvement, plus they've added jacket covers and book reviews. The
whole thing is just easier to read and use!

The Perfect Podcast for Librarians
The Perfect Podcast for Librarians
06/17/2005 07:16 PM(other than Greg’s
podcasts, of course!) - it’s Who said? A Literature
Game!
“What it is: an audio literature trivia game,
delivered as a podcast, if you want it that way.
Every other day
or so, I'll make an audio recording from a novel. It will be short
passage, always something a character says. Your task will be to guess
the character, book and author.
Two ways to play: on the
web site, and as a podcast. We are experimenting with the process a
little.
- All on the web site: Go here, listen to the clip, then
submit your guess using this form.
- As a
podcast: If you are set up to receive podcasts you can
listen via the RSS
feed, then submit your answers via the guessing form.
I'll post hints on the discussion
forums.”
I’m also very much
enjoying the Make podcasts, along with Greg’s, of course. Sadly,
no MLS libraries have subscribed to Make: Technology on
Your Time, which makes me think they just don’t know about
it. If your library “just doesn’t know about it,”
check it out, because it’s a pretty unique title and I’ll
bet you’ve got an audience for it. I follow along at home via the blog, podcasts
, del.icio.us links, and

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

Librarians turning to search engines to

Librarians turning to search engines to
present the deeper Web
06/22/2004 12:14 PM
Librarians are increasingly looking to work with search engines to
present more content. Universities, such as Carnegie-Mellon , and organizations
like the Online Computer Library Center ( OCLC ) are collaborating with Google
and others to make their specialized, traditionally undersearched
materials more available to the browsing public.
"Although it seems like an apocalyptic change now, over time we'll see
that young people will grow up using many ways of finding
information," said Abby Smith, director of programs at the Council on
Library and Information Resources, a nonprofit group in Washington.
"We'll see the current generation we accuse of doing research in their
pajamas develop highly sophisticated searching strategies to find high
quality information on the Web," Dr. Smith said. "It's this transition
period we're in, when not all high-quality information is available on
the Web - that's what we lament."

...cover topics that range from library education and librarianship as
a profession to the more political and spiritual aspects of
librarianship. The contributions include critiques of library and
information science programs, firsthand accounts of work experiences,
and original fiction, poetry and art. Ten of the original librarians
who wrote essays for Revolting Librarians back in 1972 reflect upon
what they wrote thirty years ago and the turns that their lives and

Google and Internet Archive collaborate

Search giant
Google has
launched yet another initiative, a project
to digitize old books in collaboration with a group of leading
libraries ( Harvard University ,
the New York Public Library , Oxford University , Stanford University , and the University of Michigan ).
The intent of this collaboration appears to be :
to expand the Web beyond its current valuable, if eclectic, body of
material and create a digital card catalog and searchable library for
the world's books, scholarly papers and special
collections.
Copyrighted materials will be available only in small selections.
Also in development, but unrelated to the Google effort, the Internet Achive has launched
the Million Book Project , which will digitize that many
books from libraries around the world. The Archive is also beginning
an open access archive .
Following its open-access tradition, the Archive has arranged with
libraries to make entire books accessible to the world.

03/30/2005 11:09 PMWhile judges seemed

judges were
not
convinced that the groups who were suing (librarians, academics,
computer hobbyists) had any standing in the case. That is, it was not
clear that there was direct harm as a result of the flag. These
groups went back to the drawing table and worked up a brief
outlining the
potential harm the broadcast flag would do. If the judges find
the brief compelling, then they may tell the FCC it has no right to
impose a broadcast flag on technologies. This would be a big win in
allowing firms to

Against Love: Love Politics Revisited
Against Love: Love Politics Revisited
03/22/2005 04:54 PM
 The
Idea: Author
Laura Kipnis argues that monogamy is unnatural and unhealthy, and
possibly complicit in our emotional detachment from political life and
our ecosystem as well.
Laura Kipnis, despite the title
of of her 200-page "polemic", is not Against Love. Rather,
she's against the trappings, the rules, the rituals that our culture
imposes on love relationships. She goes even further -- she sees
marriage, the institution, as every bit as repressive, suffocating and
unnatural as our mind-numbing employment in modern hierarchical
organizations, and draws strong parallels between the slavery of the
workplace and the slavery of the matrimonial home. These two canons of
civilization: our need and responsibility to devote our daytime hours
to meaningless subordinate labour, and our need and responsibility to
devote the rest of our hours to boring, stifling and unsatisfying
monogamy, work together diabolically to keep us suppressed, and in our
'place' in society. Small wonder, she says, that one of our most
enduring conventional wisdoms is that "a good marriage takes work".
If this protestation against the rigours of monogamy, fidelity and
marriage-slavery as the complement to wage-slavery sounds familiar,
it's because it's very similar to the argument that Glenn Parton made
in his essay posted first on these pages last year entitled "Love Politics".
Glenn's argument is that we have become so emotionally numbed by our
twin bondage to job and marriage that it has made our hearts cold and
hard, uncaring of the plight of our planet and of others, and that
this
is a direct cause of the destruction of our world. "If I'm miserable,
why should I care about anyone else?" Dare to love more than one
person, he suggests, and the shackles of this self-imposed
imprisonment
are broken, and the inrush of emotion will shock us into awareness of,
and eagerness to heal, the massive emotional and physical illness of
our entire planet.
Why should we, why do we
subject ourselves to this one-love-partner-slavery as easily and as
passively as we do to wage-slavery? This is the subject of much of Ms.
Kipnis' book. Her prose is so adept and so powerful I won't attempt to
paraphrase her arguments. Here are a few teasers:
Is it the persistence of the
work
ethic that ties us to the compassionate couple and its workaday
regimes, or is it the ethos of compassionate coupledom that ties us to
sould-deadening work regimes...Resenting the boss? Feeling bored or
overworked or dissatisfied? Getting complaints about your attitude?
Whether it's "on the relationship" or "on the job" get yourself right
to the therapist's office, pronto. There are only two possible
diagnoses for all such modern ailments: it's going to be either
"intimacy issues" or "authority issues". You'll soon discover that the
disease doubles as the prescription at this clinic: You're just going
to have to "work harder on yourself"...
Take the modern consumer. Clearly, routing desire into consumption
would be necessary to sustain a consumer society -- a citizenry who
fucked in lieu of shopping would soon bring the entire economy
grinding
to a standstill. Or better still, take the modern depressive. What a
boon to both the modern pharmaceutical and the social-harmony
industries that such a social type would be. These are merely
hypotheticals of course, since it's not as if we live in a society of
consumers and depressives, or as if the best strategy for the latter
weren't widely held to be strategically indulging in the former --
"retail therapy"...Love's proper denouement, matrimony, is also of
course the social form regulated by the state, which refashions itself
as a benevolent pharmacist, doling out the addictive substance in
licensed doses...What about re-envisioning [marriage] or... insisting
that social resources and privileges not be allocated on the basis of
marital status? No. let's demand regulation! Not that it's easy to
re-envision anything when these intersections of love and acquiescence
are the very backbone of the modern self, when every iota of
self-worth
and identity hinge on them...Domestic
coupledom is the boot camp for compliant citizenship, a training
ground for gluey resignation and immobility...
Ms. Kipnis suggests the same lack of innovation that permeates the
workplace in the 21st century also permeates domestic
institutions:
Different social norms could
entail something entirely different: yearly renewable contracts for
example. And if we weren't so emotionally yoked to the social forms
we've inherited that trying to envision different ways of having a
love
life seems intellectually impossible and even absurd, who knows what
other options might present themselves?...It behooves [our] society to
convince its citizenry that wanting change means personal failure,
starting over is shameful, and wanting more satisfaction than you have
is illegitimate...As love has increasingly become the center of all
emotional expression in the modern imagination -- the quantity without
which life seems forlorn -- anxiety about obtaining it in sufficient
quantities and for sufficient duration has increased to the point that
that anxiety suffuses the population, and most of our cultural
forms...Uncoupling [then] can only be experienced as ego-crushing
crisis and inadequacy...[and] the grief of failed love is exacerbated
by inevitable feelings of personal failure...
Much of the latter part of the book is focused on the psychological
gymnastics of all three (or more) parties in the polygon of adultery,
from the rationalization that hiding the affair is to protect the
feelings of the cuckold, to the feelings of self-hatred and
self-flagellation of the 'sinner(s)'. She also discusses the awkward
mechanics of the ultimate break-up of either the marriage or the
affair
(or both), and the degree to which children of the relationship become
hostages, or excuses for deception, or excuses for the boredom that
gave rise to the deception. Of course the book also talks about famous
infidelities in high political circles, and the twisted hypocrisy of
conservatives' opposition to same-sex marriage, as well as the
equal-opportunity-for-misery desire of lesbians and gays to gain
access
to the sad and repressive regulation of 'official' marriage rather
than
'settling for' merely the legal and resource rights that come with
equivalent-to-married status. And there's also a discussion of the
pragmatic phenomenon of "serial monogamy" -- the fall-back that
there's
nothing wrong with marriage per
se, it's just that we were all married to the wrong person.
All of this is complicated (even more) by the emergence of the Two-Income
Trap, which imposes a financial prison on top of the emotional one
in marriage. We have to stay
together because we can't afford to live apart.
I am convinced that this one factor is overwhelmingly responsible for
keeping the rate of divorce from reaching astronomical levels. It is
also probably helpful in keeping birth rates in the West below
replacement levels -- Not only can we not afford children, we
certainly
don't want any (or any more) with the spouse we're economically
shackled to. And having one with the secret love is just too messy. In
my recent article predicting a baby boom, perhaps I underestimated the
sheer perverseness of a socioeconomic system that not only makes
parenthood financially reckless, it also suppresses fertility rates by
its expressed moral repugnance for having a child by someone other
than
your boring spouse.
A lot of people, some of their own free will, and many more who have
been pushed, have recently broken free of wage slavery and are now
working, mostly for much less income, for themselves. That's probably
a
good thing in many ways -- it reduces the supply of the remaining wage
slaves, which might actually, in time, allow them to bargain from a
position of at least a bit of power. It increases self-sufficiency. It
reduces excessive consumption. What if there were a similar revolution
against marriage slavery?
What if a whole generation just refused to define themselves (in more
ways than one) as married, or to live with the constraints of
monogamy,
and instead opted for a polyamory life-style?
Paternity 'rights' and responsibilities would both probably suffer, as
the new family unit would be a woman (or possibly, and more logically,
a group of women, in self-selected community) and their children. They would have the
power, and could strike whatever contract they chose with males who
wanted
the responsibilities and privileges of fatherhood. The nuclear family
and the 'single-family dwelling' would disappear. Conjugal relations
would not attach to parental responsibility, and could be negotiated
between any two people as individuals on a one-shot basis, with no
responsibility other than the responsibility to prevent unwanted
pregnancy and disease. This would probably be bad for the oldest
profession, as the supply/demand ratio for quick couplings would soar.
Jealousy and the consequent domestic violence that is the scourge of
our nuclear spouse-as-property society would, slowly (old habits die
hard), disappear. I think the vast majority of men, driven by
million-year-old biological imperatives, once they reached a certain
age, would choose to attach themselves to one of the matriarchal
communities (if so invited), and would do their share to provide for
its well-being, in return for the company and sense of purpose that
would bring.
We are told it takes a village, a community, to raise a child. Perhaps
the community is necessary, and sufficient, for far more: To break us
all free from both the emotionally numbing subjugation of wage-slavery
and the misery and boredom of marriage-slavery. The community would
then become truly self-sufficient in every respect, and we would be
happier and freer than we can, or dare, imagine.
