Wow - read it and reflect on it. I asked that a tech/collections/policy committee at our library talk about Nancy Sims article since it was published. Last I checked, it had even fallen off the parking lot of topics. Time to put this back on the agenda.

Why such a long delay?!

Indeed I was just looking at http://crl.acrl.org/content... .... and the difference between Article accepted date and anticipated publication date caught my eye. Still the main thing is I can get the thing online for free earlier...

Creating (or perpetuating) an artificial scarcity is silly in an online publication... Also, aside from advertising revenue, I see no reason to keep printing C&RL and C&RLN... but that is not my call :)
- awd
When I was on the ed. board, I asked about that, or if nothing else if we could let members opt out to save money/time/trees. IIRC, they had conducted a survey a few years ago and there was still a majority wanting print. But I have a feeling attitudes could change profoundly in a few years., so I wish they'd ask again.
- barbara fister
When LITA took ITAL online only, they had to factor in the loss of the ads revenue... I bet CRL/CRLN get waaay more ad revenue than ITAL did - so cancelling the print might negatively impact the budget lines... (sorry to appear to be calling out ARCL & LITA on this - they're the two I'm familiar with)

If it's a matter of making it look nice, I wonder if authors could be given a template into which to pour the info. I know it's more complicated than that, but it seems as if you could get a reasonably nice layout without quite so much labor. I know a lot of scientists who use LaTex and are able to do a lot more complex things than our articles typically require. We're not totally tech-ignorant as a field.

C&RL doesn't get a lot of ad revenue, but C&RL News does (relatively).

Sounds like an oddity--a PoD operation that sends authors five copies and hopes that some percentage of the theses will yield other sales, which at the right prices could quickly yield profits. (Hey, at $64 for a 112-page paperback--one example on Amazon--it only takes one sold copy to cover the five author's copies. Lulu would charge about $7 to produce a one-off 112-page paperback.)

Scientific Linux, recompiled Enterprise Linux - https://www.scientificlinux.org/
Andy and Mike Chelen liked this
"SL is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters. The base SL distribution is basically Enterprise Linux, recompiled from source. Our main goal for the base distribution is to have everything compatible with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes. An example of of items that were added are Pine, and OpenAFS. Our secondary goal is to allow easy customization for a site, without disturbing the Scientific Linux base. The various labs are able to add their own modifications to their own site areas. By the magic of scripts, and the anaconda installer, each site is to be able to create their own distributions with minimal effort. Or, if a users wishes, they can simply install the base SL release."

Model notebook, combo FriendFeed with MediaWiki (OpenWetWare) - http://openwetware.org/wiki...
Alexey, Tom Tullius, Peter Miller and 9 other people liked this
I have been thinking for several months that FriendFeed is very close to what I need for a lab notebook. This page is to help me think about that. The main thing missing at the moment (it seems) is just a way to filter FriendFeed stuff by date. There's also the issue that the wiki doesn't "know" the FriendFeed content, and so versioning stuff is lost. But seems to me many of the pieces are there.
- Steve Koch
from Bookmarklet
One valid question would be: "is there a point to the wiki?" I'm thinking not a whole lot, right now I'm just using it as an easy way to place in a few iframes of the friend feed threads. A really advanced mindmap that I could drag and drop FriendFeed threads around, and then describe relationships between feeds would be very cool. Of course, I'm biased that way because I learned how mindmaps work last night and looked into them today.
- Steve Koch
Breakin' the law! I'm so cool. Here's some non-science for you: http://friendfeed.com/steveko...
- Steve Koch
I would say that there is a point to the wiki. Mainly because you can embed video, use LaTeX, Google spreadsheets, etc. Plus the wiki markup allows for greater structure in a post (headings, links...). Now if we use the power of the wiki with the flexibility for posting things via Friendfeed, that's spectacular. The ability to post relevent conversations on Friendfeed to a notebook entry is pretty awesome. I actually can't wait to try this.
- Andy Maloney
from iPhone
I also like the wiki because I am more of a wet lab person, and it more resembles a lab notebook to me - way to paste in various pieces of information as Andy wrote. Will follow this with much interest.
- Heather
I've been using the wiki within our institutional VLE for over a year (giving up the paper notebooks was v. difficult!;) The flexibility is key: got to be able to post / upload anything. Am working on a "parts list" for diagrams that are used frequently (sequence maps, pcr primers etc) mostly generated spontaneously by students. Anybody know of an online source of such things?
- Richard Badge
from Nambu
Ant also asked this question, "do you need OWW?" I think if OWW can transform to make this work, then it'd be a "yes," since it could be very flexible. I had to create this example page manually. The next version of OWW (or other VLE or whatever) needs to be able to create pages automatically. So, when I create a new gel photo it automatically goes in my "gels" section of that day's page. It's OK if I need to do some setup work, but I shouldn't have to manually do stuff every day.
- Steve Koch
I do not think imagining a FF widget is too far off: http://openwetware.org/wiki... .
- Daniel Mietchen
It's times like this I feel the lack of a DropBox API - but we do have a grant in to develop a really lightweight, "drop it in the appropriate folder and have it go to the right place" system. That could work with the MediaWiki API (or anything else) to enable a bit of this kind of thing. But agree with Richard, its nice if a system knows what to do with a particular file type, but the important thing is that you can upload anything at all.
- Cameron Neylon
I think that it has all been mentioned already, but I just want to emphasize what Andy pointed out. The the wiki gives your information some structure, mostly in regards to non-notebook information. As great as the lab notebook format that the wiki provides is, as I've had less and less time during the past few months, it has become more annoying to manually upload files/enter entries...
