Netherlands Bound - Ticer Course on
Digital Libraries!

Netherlands Bound - Ticer Course on
Digital Libraries! 04/11/2005 08:28 AM

I’m thrilled to be included as a presenter in this year’s International Ticer School at Tilburg University in the Netherlands this coming August, even more so after I saw the list of other speakers! Here’s the press release:

“The International Ticer School (known for its former International Summer School on the Digital Library) offers a brand new, modular course for librarians and publishers: ‘Digital Libraries à la Carte: Choices for the Future,’ to be held at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, 22-26 August
2005.

From its 'menu' of five one-day modules, you can pick your choice:

• trends and strategic issues
• technological developments, relevant to libraries
• consortia and licensing
• open Access and institutional repositories
• the role of libraries in teaching and learning

Top speakers will present their views. Below is a selection.

• Marissa Mayer is Director, Consumer Web Products at Google
• Derk Haank is CEO of Springer and former CEO of Elsevier
• Peter Suber and Richard Poynder are among the most cited authors on Open Access
• Jenny Levine's blog (theshiftedlibrarian.com) is read by thousands of librarians
• Carol Tenopir has published over 200 journal articles and is cited frequently
• Deb deBruijn closed the worldwide biggest consortium deal (over 50 million dollar)
• Gerry McKiernan is the compiler of several known Web registries
• Steven Gilbert is president of The TLT Group and an expert on learning landscapes
• Pat Maughan transforms the undergraduate curriculum at the prestigious UC Berkeley to include information literacy training

To guarantee a highly interactive programme, the number of participants is limited to 45 per module, lectures contain an interactive component, and two
modules are concluded with a practical workshop. The course is recommended by JISC, the DARE project and SURF Diensten.

The course website can be found at www.ticer.nl/05carte/. If you register before 1 June 2005, we can offer you a discount. Do you want a quick update in just one to five days? Then Tilburg is the place to be this summer!”

Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? There’s more information on the web site (including full descriptions of each module), so if you can attend, I highly encourage it!

Search Engine Technology and Digital Libraries - Libraries Need to Discover the Academic Internet by Norbert Lossau, Bielefeld University Library, Germany
D-Lib Magazine June 2004 Volume 10 Number 6
http://www .dlib.org/dlib/june04/lossau/06lossau.html

This article is the revised and elaborated version of a presentation that was delivered at the invitation of the American Digital Library Federation (DLF) at their Spring Forum meeting in New Orleans (http://snipurl.com/7kqx). It will be followed by "Search engine technology and digital libraries: Moving from theory to praxis" as a collaborative article from this author and Friedrich Summann, Head of IT at Bielefeld University Library. With the development of the World Wide Web, the "information search" has grown to be a significant business sector of a global, competitive and commercial market. Powerful players have entered this market, such as commercial internet search engines, information portals, multinational publishers and online content integrators. Will Google, Yahoo or Microsoft be the only portals to global knowledge in 2010? If libraries do not want to become marginalized in a key area of their traditional services, they need to acknowledge the challenges that come with the globalisation of scholarly information, the existence and further growth of the academic internet.

Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL), 2005
http://www.jcdl2005.org/

The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. The theme of JCDL 2005 highlights the powerful role of digital libraries as cyberinfrastructure. This cyberinfrastructure has the potential to engender the creation of new tools, research methodologies, and processes that will enable scientists and learners to investigate the natural world, the social world, and the human-built environment in new and previously unimaginable ways. As global interests in computation, information management, networking, and intelligent sensing converge, the conduct of research and education will be transformed. They welcome researchers and practitioners with broad and diverse interests including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of disciplines and professions involved in digital library research and practice, including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, medicine, social sciences, and humanities. All domains - academe, government, industry, and others - are encouraged to participate as presenters or attendees. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

RIAA Wants Your Fingerprints

" Not content with asking for an arm and a leg from consumers and artists, the music industry now wants your fingerprints, too. The RIAA is hoping that a new breed of music player which requires biometric authentication will put an end to file sharing.

Established biometric vendor Veritouch has teamed up with Swedish design company to produce iVue: a wireless media player that allows content producers to lock down media files with biometric security. This week Veritouch announced that it had demonstrated the device to the RIAA and MPAA.

'In practical terms, VeriTouch's breakthrough in anti-piracy technology means that no delivered content to a customer may be copied, shared or otherwise distributed because each file is uniquely locked by the customer's live fingerprint scan," claims the company." [The Register]

How the hell is a library supposed to circulate these files? Does anyone still doubt that the record industry would love to shut libraries out of circulating digital music files?

South African villages to get digital

South African villages to get digital
cinema network 04/05/2005 09:23 PM
Xeni Jardin: Excerpt from Variety article:

The vast majority of South Africa's 40-million people have never been to the cinema, kept away by the legacy of apartheid, poverty and language barriers. But the nation's exhibs are hoping to change that by using the indigenous filmmaking along with digital technology to connect to the missing multitudes (...)

Starting in September, Shout Africa will roll out 20 digital cinemas around the country where facilities are most lacking, to make the movies affordable and accessible. Shout Africa chief executive Lance Samuels says that for local producers, these cinemas will provide another distribution outlet as well as the opportunity to build new audiences.

Locally produced films in indigenous languages and English will be shown alongside foreign features, with subtitles in the vernacular language of the region of the cinema.Besides the usual popcorn and soft drinks, popular traditional township foods such as maize porridge, spicy sausages, samp (hominy), mealies (corn on the cob) and fried chicken will be on sale to help make the d-cinema experience more African.

Samuels says d-cinemas will be located in revamped township community centers to create a quality experience, including comfortable chairs, high quality digital projection and state of the art surround sound. And, hoping to seal the deal, prices will be much lower than at urban multiplexes.

Wonder what kind of gear the company will be installing? Will this be true cinema-grade digital projection, or something cruddier and lower-res (and, hence, more affordable)? Either way, it's fascinating news, and points to one of the greatest promises of this technology. Which hardware manufacturer(s) will be involved?

Here's more info on the "Shout Africa" d-cinema initiative, Link, by way of Sithengi -- a company that promotes the South African television and film industry.

Link to Variety story (paid sub required, but the story seems to be largely cribbed from the Sithengi press release anyway... )
