The Brewin' Librarian " What I'm finding as an Information Professional - http://matthewdhamilton.com/wp...
Cindi Trainor, Kårín Dalzĭel, bob and 2 other people liked this
My fellow Coloradan, Matt Hamilton, takes a look around and comes to the conclusion that "the library field is weird. No, really. I mean it.... I’m afraid we just might be making a mockery of ourselves. And we don’t have another 15 years to fix it. In 15 years the information landscape will have changed just as drastically as the web has changed us and if we don’t get serious we might just fall off the map completely." Matt is finishing his MLS, and he's written up a very interesting perspective on what's wrong with the field, what's right with it, and how he thinks we cold start to improve things.
I think he has a point. Saying one is a librarian doesn't tell you anything at all these days.

There is huge resistance to changing the "librarian" title -- imo, a rose by any other name is still a stinky flower -- also fwiw imo, there is huge (but rapidly lessening) resistance to changes within the field of librarianship... even 5 years may be too long for acceptance of changes to the information landscape

Anyone have ideas about alternatives to worldcat.org for letting people know they can find books in their libraries?
Sir Shuping, Cindi Trainor, and 3 other people liked this
wish I did. WorldCat is good for some but not all -- publics, for instance. local OPACs? statewide union catalog (if one exists and is easy to use)?
- Stephanie_Thankful
I want to add this feature to our online catalog at some point. Always assumed I would go with WorldCat. Do they not have most libraries? What are they missing?
- Laura Norvig
I want to know the answer to this too. I read this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technol..., and now I'm confused about how much is in WorldCat. I know my local network isn't, because we can't afford it.
- Sia Stewart
Laura - WorldCat.org only displays libraries who also have a FirstSearch subscription. This doesn't bother me because most AK libraries have a statewide FS sub and there are enough libraries to let the user know that the item they seek is in SOME library.
- Daniel Cornwall
I wish the site would say that upfront. We are not the world, much as we would like to be. (Libraries not only have to join OCLC but have to subscribe to a closed-garden version of the public interface, which seems to be working at cross purposes so far as public access goes.)
- barbara fister
What IS starting to bother me about WorldCat.org is OCLC's data policy. If they continue to fight to own what is NOT theirs, then I feel like I should be exploring alternatives. Our catalog can provide static links, but that only helps people in my city. We have a statewide union catalog -- through OCLC. If there was a similar alternative (i.e. linking books to libraries) I'd pursue it.
- Daniel Cornwall
++ Daniel -- was about to answer the same thing. Plus the First Search subscription is. not. cheap. for a library going in on its own (non-consortial). one would think our corporate overlord would feel the charges for cataloging our holdings into the database so they have our holdings correct would be enough :|
- Zen Master the Librarian
10:00 am on a Sunday and I've already learned something very valuable. Thanks all!
- Laura Norvig
There's a technological gap here: a protocol for harvesting holdings data. If that existed and were widely implemented, anyone could create a "where's this book?" mashup. 'Course, the FRBRization involved there would not be fun or easy.
- D0r0th34
What about a library catalog that Google, Yahoo, etc could grab, so that searching in search engines would turn up catalog records?
- josh neff, geek at large
why would Google turn up the record in *your* library?
- D0r0th34
OCLC's ownership policies in the 80s were responsible for TNSL&A deciding to place public library records in http://bit.ly/1ZdFbw so the state retained ownership should there ever arise a need to migrate to another vendor. Several states have contracts with Auto-Graphics for this reason.
- Polly Potter
The key to having "your" library results show up would be location based data -- if searcherX is within N miles of your library (and your library were one fo the 3 or so closest) then your library holdings would show up in the search results

- D0r0th34

- Stephanie_Thankful
A colleague mentioned that OCLC tried this same landgrab in late 80s but LC pointed out that some of the records they OCLC were trying to own were LC records.
- Polly Potter
biblios.net is one way to circumvent OCLC...they have an api so you can do what you want with the data. joshua m. neff mentions it below. guess it depends on what you mean by finding books in your library....

Thanks for the extra ideas. Will need to think them over. Lori - You don't need to duck from me, I like OCLC (most of the time) too. But I think they may be trying to shoot the golden goose with this issue.

Have you tried the HP netbook? I haven't used it, but the keyboard looks great.
- tab thinks you're awesome
My Acer One just got top rankings on the PC world report in Dec of 08. That included the Mini, but not the HP. I agree with Tab - the HP looks NICE, but the Acer is cheaper and pretty darn good.
- Webgoddess
I'm on a Mini now. The keyboard is still too small and they apostrophe/double quote button is no longer just to the left of the enter key, which means I often hit enter when I mean to hit apostrophe. The HP keyboard is much better. But I think the Mini is the only one with solid state memory (makes it more rugged & energy efficient) AND a VGA port.
- Stephen Francoeur
I've got Microsoft Office on my 16 GB memory w/ no problem as well as a host of other programs. I have no expectations of saving many files on this thing, and that is not what it's for for me. It is instead a travel computer that I can hook up to projectors at conferences and classrooms.
