near and dear to my heart -- and now you can get the audio of the

BBC releases Reith Lectures online as
MP3s
04/09/2004 03:54 PMFor those of you who don't know, basically my job at the moment is
to be one-half of a rapid-prototyping and R&D unit with Matt Webb over at the
part of the BBC that handles the
interactive aspects of the BBC's Radio and Music output. The department
makes all the websites for the various Radio Networks as well as
interactive TV stuff, stuff for mobile phones and - of course - the
Radio Player. It's a pretty cool place to work and I'm proud of the
work that we've managed to get done there (more on that in the next
few months, hopefully).
So at the moment I'm particularly proud of the work that the
department is doing. Basically Radio 4 do a series of programmes each
year called The Reith
Lectures, in which they get a notable thinker to come in and -
over a series of lectures - expound upon a particular scientific,
political or social theme. This year Wole Soyinka, Nobel Prize-winning
poet, is talking about Climate of Fear.
Normally - like many BBC radio shows - you can listen to them again
via the BBC Radio Player. But this year they're doing something a bit
different and I think pretty significant - they're releasing all
the lectures as DRM-free MP3 files for people to download. There's
more about this over at Dan
Hill's site and Matt Jones has written some commentary on it too
(Free
as in speech). Hopefully it's the first open distribution of many
programmes of this kind - enlightening, significant and weighty pieces
of work that actually have the potential to make the world a better
place - available for free from the BBC. Fingers crossed.

Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind
Reith Lectures 2003: The Emerging Mind
12/17/2003 06:02 PMIn 1922, a young Scottish engineer called John Reith was appointed
General Manager of a fledgling national broadcasting service, known at
the time as the British Broadcasting Company. With little experience
and without any established purpose to guide him, Reith shaped the
growing institution according to his vision of what a public service
broadcaster should be. Reith defined the BBC's role as "to bring the
best of everything to the greatest number of homes". He maintained
that it was the duty of a national broadcaster to make an intellectual
contribution to public life. According to his principles and in
honour of his work, the BBC inaugurated the Reith Lectures in 1948.
Every year a leading figure is invited to deliver a series of public
lectures informed by their particular field of expertise. The purpose
of the lectures is "to advance public understanding and debate about
significant issues of contemporary interest". The first Reith Lectures
were given by Bertrand Russell and notable contributors have consented
to participate ever since. Former Reith Lecturers include Robert
Oppenheimer, JK Galbraith, John Searle, Steve Jones and Edward Said.
This year's Reith Lecturer was Professor Vilayanur Ramachandran,
Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognition and professor with the
Psychology Department and the Neurosciences Programme at the
University of California, San Diego.

Happy B-Day Gary!
Happy B-Day Gary!
08/07/2004 07:21 PM
I didn't find out about Gary Turner's b-day through Ryze, some
classmates knock-off or even an email. I found out about it through
RSS, which (I assume) he posted initially at Flickr and which then
ricocheted into his blog.
So first of all - congrats to Gary (hopefully I'll get to meet him
Sept. 13th), and congrats to Stewart and the team at Ludicorp for
evolving Flickr into what it is
today.
At first glance I thought of Flickr a predominanly an IM your photo
kind of RIA. But it's much more than that.
The Calendaring, the PhotoRSS, the Fotonotes, a more coming - I'm
sure.

Gary Houk on Amazoogle
Gary Houk on Amazoogle
06/17/2005 07:16 PMI’m in Dublin, Ohio, at the TechConnections conference to
give three presentations tomorrow (blogs, RSS, and social bookmark
managers), but I arrived just in time today to hear Gary Houk present
on the topic of “Connecting Users to Library Services in an
Amazoogle World: Trends in Information Discovery and Delivery.”
Here are my blognotes:
“10 things Google has found to be
true”
5. You don’t need to be at your desk to need an
answer.
The Amazoogle user environment:
- For many,
it’s the first and last resort of research
- Available at
the point of need
- Comprehensive?
- How does it compare
to libraries?
netLibrary is waiting for Apple to add DRM
to the iPod so that their ebooks will work on it
“Digital
Natives” = Millennials
— Online gaming (compete,
collaborate, create)
OCLC’s response is Open WorldCat
(OW)
- Functionality is changing almost weekly
- Search
engines called OCLC (?)
- “Connect library users to
library services on the open web through syndication… at the
point of need….”
- No money is changing hands between
OCLC and the search engines
- 9 million searches from these
sites (although not all were click-throughs to library sites; that
number is in the hundreds of thousands)
Have started to
display the FRBR algorithm in Open WorldCat! Will deploy FRBR
throughout OCLC services later this year
OCLC now has a Google
toolbar?
Experimenting with Google Maps to display the libraries
with holdings in Open WorldCat
On the “landing page”
for a specific title from Yahoo or Google to OW, you’ll see a
display in the upper right-hand corner of the databases to which the
library subscribes
Issue of mobile devices – OCLC
hasn’t done a lot in this area yet, but they plan to do
more
Gary wants an icon on your device for the “global
library channel”
Mentioned Google’s SMS
functionality - should work for libraries, too!
OCLC’s
focus for moving forward:
- Expand WorldCat to better
represent library collections, particularly
international
- Improve discovery by broadening partner base and
enhancing the service
- Improve fulfillment through registries,
authentication and new methods of service (e.g., the ejournal
space)
- Make the data we have work harder
One of
their key objectives for the next fiscal year is to help libraries
manage their electronic collections as well as they’ve helped
libraries manage their physical collections in the past.
Showed
FictionFinder in the research section of the OCLC web
site
- Showed a search for Ohio Amish mysteries that uses
FRBR
- Stars aren’t ratings – they’re how many
“manifestations” there are of the title; shows number of
library holdings in parentheses
Top sets for fiction
records are classics
- 1,296 for defoe, daniel
- 1,267
carroll, lewis
- 971 cervantes
When click on one,
get navigation options by publisher, language, date, type
Wiki
in WorldCat
- Want to capture user input in structured ways;
will be a pilot test this summer
- User will be able to enter
comments, recommendations, reviews, etc.
- Side note: this is
exactly what I noted they could do at NEASIST in
May!
Highlighted Google Scholar, which OW is part
of
Highlighted Google Print, which OW is part of; metadata is
available from OCLC; feel they are keeping libraries at the forefront
of this
The implications of Google
Libraries:
- Potentially covers about one third of print
books in WorldCat
- 60% of total Google 5 (the 5 beta
libraries) books held by only one of the G5
- Less than 5%
held by all of the G5
- 20% of total G5 print books out of
copyright
- There’s a paper coming out of their
research
“Last Copy”
- 23 million
WorldCat records have only a single holding
attached
Data-mining study of Vanderbilt holdings in
WC:
- Identified 23,000 items held uniquely by
Vanderbilt
- 60% are print books
- 60% produced prior to
1950
OCLC/Ithaca collaboration:
- 32 million
print books, representing 26 million distinct works
- Only about
120,000 works had both print and ebook manifestations
- Half of
print books published after 1977, more than 80% still “in
copyright”
- Rareness is common! Only a third of print
books have more than 5 holdings, half have 2 or less
- This kind
of intelligence helps establish digitization priorities and inform
preservation planning
Need to factor in the habits of
these “digital natives” when you’re planning your
services and the delivery of them
If you’re spending a lot
of money on your portal, is that the best use of your money? Most
likely your users aren’t starting at your portal.
These
companies are using metadata to connect people looking for stuff with
people who need stuff – they’re innovators.
I asked
when we’ll get RSS out of Open WorldCat – Gary
wasn’t sure; “it’s a technology that OCLC is
definitely looking at”

though: Now that BLX has incontestably become an important part of the

"islands of BLX" that will be accessible only via Microsoft's own

point. The story of the life and death of Gary Webb says much about
the state of American politics and what passes as "journalism" in
