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.
Dewey Hacks, anyone?
Don't Mess With Librarians
Don't Mess With Librarians

We the [Order the Book Already]
Librarians
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
Flickr pool.

New Track for Public Librarians at

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
(October 24-26, 2005). :-)

Revolting Librarians Redux: Guardians of
culture rant out
03/15/2003 11:03 AMNext fall will see the publication of a followup to the classic
"Revolting Librarians," a collection of radical librarian ranting.
...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
careers have taken since.

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."
Google and Internet Archive collaborate
with librarians to digitize books
Google and Internet Archive collaborate
with librarians to digitize books
12/17/2004 06:30 PM
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.
Librarians, Computer Hobbyists Show The

Librarians, Computer Hobbyists Show The
Harm The Broadcast Flag Will Cause
03/30/2005 11:09 PMWhile judges seemed
sympat
hetic to the legal questions raised concerning the FCC's right to
mandate a "broadcast flag," the one big stumbling block was that the
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
innov
ate without first having to ask for permission from the
entertainment industry.

02/01/2005 10:09 PMSubject Guides, the Folksonomic Way
“Del.icio.us, the bookmarking website
with tags that I discussed on January 6, seems like the perfect tool for creating
course-specific subject guides. Just agree on a tag, like the course
number, and the subject librarian, professor, and students can build a
subject guide cooperatively, on the fly.
I just tagged the
two resources I identified for my Digital Libraries class with the
course number. So they are now easily found by myself, and anyone else
in the class, at del.icio.us/tag/sislt9409.
” [Wanderings of a
Student Librarian]
Joy Weese Moll demonstrates
another way in which librarians and librarians-to-be can take
advantage of tagging and folksonomies! It will be interesting to see
if her teacher or her fellow students begin contributing to the tag.
Here’s hoping….
