What's new in news aggregation? | Media network | Guardian Professional - 1 views

  •  
    There's nothing new about curating the news and aggregating content. It's always been part of the role of journalism, selecting and presenting information, and editors have always done it. Aggregation is not curation. Aggregators pull together, and allow you to assemble, news from a variety of sources in one place. Those that also curate the news spotlight stories and often package content based on algorithm and/or the work of editors (ie there's some type of judgment involved and usually context created).

This Library E-Book Will Self-Destruct After 26 Check Outs - 1 views

  •  
    @RWW "imagine, if you will, a publishing company - oh, let's say HarperCollins - telling libraries that after checking out a book a certain number of times - oh, let's say 26 - that they've reached the cap on loans. The book can no longer be shared, and libraries need to return the copy or buy the book again. Sound crazy? Well, that actually is the new policy for HarperCollins, reports Library Journal, detailing the new terms for its e-book loans via OverDrive, the main e-book distributor for libraries.
