I'm an information services librarian at Baruch College (New York, NY). I'm interested in digital reference, information literacy, and open access,.
it's an interesting idea for brown-bag sessions - the talks are short enough that there's time left to discuss after them - Richard Akerman
A comprehensive portal (or start page) with content relevant to libraries and museums. Created by Jason Kucsma, the Emerging Technologies Manager at the Metropolitan New York Library Council. Created using Netvibes. - Stephen Francoeur
Harvard Business School Press can go to hell for all I care. Can't link to their content in EBSCOhost's Business Source Premier! http://distlib.blogs.com/distlib...
Oh, this is basically why I spent time wednesday really irritated at HBSP. Despite Harvard making open-access statements, HBSP is a serious PITA and they have a cadre of lawyers ready to go after places. I try hard to encourage the business school to use items other than HBSP materials, though it's not always reasonable or possible. - ÉllbeeÇee
This stupidity is coming hard on the heels of this other stupidity from them. http://bibwild.wordpress.com/2009... - Stephen Francoeur
Wow. Evil! - Jeff Karlsen
@jazzmodeus The LibGuides widgets look like a good starting point for embeddable content.
“Friday” Tech Sharecase, 25 June 2009 - http://blsciblogs.baruch.cuny.edu/idealab...
Does anyone know of clever things you can do with LibGuides content in WordPress? My college has WordPressMU & will soon have LibGuides.
@mikhailg This is also useful re fair use and teaching. http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resourc...
@mikhailg One thing troubles me re that tutorial: determining when a source is legally made. Not always so clearcut. http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resourc...
@lwaltzer Thanks for testing. Maybe I'll just remove that ugly RealPlayer embed.
Is my blog crashing Firefox for you today? http://www.teachinglibrarian.org/weblog...
No, but it told me to install a Realplayer plugin. - Jáson Puçkett
Thanks for checking, Jason. Earlier I had an embedded RealPlayer in a blog post set to autoplay. I figured out where in the embed code I could turn that off. I think that fixed it. - Stephen Francoeur
@jennylish Thanks for the test. Hope I fixed the problem with autostart of RealPlayer that was embedded in a post.
@ellbeecee Thnx for testing. That's what I get for embedding RealVideo player. Seems like it was crashing when autostart was enabled.
Elsevier Tries to Rig Recommendation System in Amazon - http://blsciblogs.baruch.cuny.edu/idealab...
Elsevier is seriously going to run out of minor employees to blame for "isolated" incidents soon. - Rachel Walden
Rachel: *snicker* - Stephen Francoeur
I'm wondering how many other unscrupulous things Elsevier is doing that *haven't* been dug up yet. It's like cockroaches: if you see one, that means there are dozens more hiding in your walls. - Catherine Pellegrino
MS Outlook sux enuf now, but @msofficeus is using Word to render emails in Outlook, killing standards support. See http://fixoutlook.org
