Looking forward to some "strategery beer & aligned pizza" tonight. And thinking of @desertlibrarian + rest of the AZ gang.
"The library is a means to an end: enabling students and faculty to access archives. This does not denigrate the library's importance. In fact, it reminds us how important libraries are to the academy and, more generally, to a democratic society."

i saw that series of tweets, too: profs at stanford can't include social media use as a requirement for a course unless it's clearly spelled out in the schedule of classes and the course isn't required to graduate with any degree

Volume 60 Issue 12, Pages 2402-2415. This article reports on a longitudinal study of information seeking by undergraduate information management students. It describes how they found and used information, and explores their motivation and decision making. We employed a use-in-context approach where students were observed conducting, and were interviewed about, information-seeking tasks carried out during their academic work. We found that participants were reluctant to engage with a complex range of information sources, preferring to use the Internet.

Volume 60 Issue 12, Pages 2388-2401. Social tagging is one of the major phenomena transforming the World Wide Web from a static platform into an actively shared information space. This paper addresses various aspects of social tagging, including different views on the nature of social tagging, how to make use of social tags, and how to bridge social tagging with other Web functionalities; it discusses the use of facets to facilitate browsing and searching of tagging data; and it presents an analogy between bibliometrics and tagometrics, arguing that established bibliometric methodologies can be applied to analyze tagging behavior on the Web.

Oh nooooooooo! Jason, an internet marketing specialist, said he "was looking at websites under the keyword household accessories and came across your website http://library.du.edu. I see that you're not ranked on the first page of Google for a household accessories search." That explains why we haven't sold many toasters!
Worried about the medium, they hold back, delay or even refuse to support it. Which is fine if you have market power, but you likely don't. No publisher does, certainly. The Beatles couldn't stop iTunes from changing the record business by sitting out the platform, and there's no book publisher who can stop the Kindle alone.

Coworker's flight on frontier hit birds last night. Hope she is ok. Glad I didn't switch my flight to last night. Day isn't done though. Denver has lotsa snow for me to drive through to get home.
