In this way, it is suggested that Google and the library are not direct competitors.
This section also talks about responses to sugestions about better visibility for library staff and their specialities, and about the physical library.
The former they associate with volunteer community-oriented activities like Linux and Apache.
Because Sakai exists, it is is suggested by some, Blackboard is more responsive to standards issues and the hope is that it may lead Blackboard to lower prices. In the notebook were pasted various 'provocative' statements.
The prize includes a really creepy V mask.
It is suggested that better signalling of different library roles, and of the expert advice that is available would help here. This is not to say that it is easy to find these numbers, but it would be interesting context.
OCLC makes this information available via an XML web service. It seems to work quite well.
Other areas are noted, including, fleetingly, library systems, but are not a main focus. The authors note that 'during the interviews, many users expressed genuine surprise that they could actually ask library employees for advice'. But there are a few tricks that can make it go a little smoother. One, I wonder will Google Scholar and Google Book Search change this perception.
I found it strange that the report's focus is one potential answer to this set of issues, rather than the issues themselves and a range of possible answers. Users tended not to turn to librarians for support in the search phase; they are most likely to ask for assistance in the retrieval phase.
In some cases it was not clear to them what staff had to offer, or they did not want to disturb staff who were sitting at workstations.
"The Zotero sensors should work with most library catalogs, some popular dot-coms such as Amazon, and many gated databases.
The second was that they were not seen as having academic expertise. Of course, this is one example of mixing ILS functionality into another application. So I came up with a simple addition to my saw that keeps things moving along.
Often used in a neutral business sense, it is not surprising - given what may be at stake - that sometimes discussion of sourcing is shot through with political preferences or emotional attachment. The study took an ethnographic approach, using a variety of qualitiative techniques to try to build up a rich picture of library perceptions and expectations. I found it strange that the report's focus is one potential answer to this set of issues, rather than the issues themselves and a range of possible answers. Unless, again, it is qualified in use.
I like the way they use the sea in the current website design.
But, of course, these are directions in which we plan to go, integrating 'find it' services with 'get it' services across multiple independently managed systems. It lists various publications. In this way, the reader has some guidance which will influence a decision about whether or not to request the delivery of the item.
And in some cases share them.
But, of course, these are directions in which we plan to go, integrating 'find it' services with 'get it' services across multiple independently managed systems. It will be interesting to see if they prove popular enough to be given higher billing.
People were asked to record impressions in the notebook and to respond to the statements. The project page is hosted at Ithaka: will it also host an Organization for Open Source Software as discussed in the report?
