  • mission of the Library Linked Data incubator group is to help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing together people involved in Semantic Web activities—focusing on Linked Data—in the library community and beyond, building on existing initiatives, and identifying collaboration tracks for the future.
  • existing building blocks of librarianship, such as metadata models, metadata schemas, standards and protocols for building interoperability and library systems and networked environments, encourage libraries to bring their content, and generally re-orient their approaches to data interoperability towards the Web, also reaching to other communities.

  • Technological advances in the past several years have enabled libraries to create new services that before were not possible, such as virtual reference, personalized OPAC interfaces, or downloadable media that library customers can use in the comfort of their own homes. This increase in available technologies gives libraries the ability to offer improved, customer-driven service opportunities.
  • Libraries are in the habit of providing the same services and the same programs to the same groups
  • , Stephens believes that “Library 2.0 will be a meeting place, online or in the physical world, where [library users'] needs will be fulfilled through entertainment, information, and the ability to create [their] own stuff to contribute to the ocean of content out there.”
  • . It's never been easy to reach this group with physical services, because libraries are constrained by space and money and cannot carry every item that every user desires
  • Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired, who coined the phrase in an article of the same name in 2004, argues that the demand for movies or books that are not hits far outnumbers the demand for those that are hit

shared by Ruth M. on 01 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • The Zoom Q3HD gets the balance right, shooting HD video while capturing audio with two terrific microphones
  • Video quality is what you’d expect from a pocket cam, which means it’s adequate
  • We just wish the documentation did a better job of explaining all these choices.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A built-in USB plug transfers recordings to your Mac with or without the pointless software bundle.
  • you can’t use an attached Q3HD as a live mic or camera for your Mac
  • The weak battery life—we got fewer than 90 minutes of recording time per set of AAs—will make you fearful that they’ll run out in the middle of a shot. And the plastic device even includes a plastic tripod adapter; that’s cheap.
  • . The Q3HD pairs decent image quality with uncommonly good audio. It’s easy to overlook this pocket shooter’s shortcomings once you hear the difference. Product  Q3HD Handy Video Recorder

  • Recording video with the Zoom Q3HD is quite easy. Press one button on the side of the device to power it up, press the large red record button on the back of the device once to start recording, then press the record button again to stop. Playback is equally easy, with a play button conveniently located just below the display.
  • Update: Several commenters noted that the audio is out of sync with the video on both Zoom videos. This is not the case with the original files, and appears to be a problem with the way that YouTube handled the uploaded file. Zoom is looking into the situation and I will update again as soon as I hear more.
  • In the end, it's all going to boil down to two things: whether you have the money to buy a secondary video camera such as the Zoom Q3HD and if you truly need the extra video quality of this camera for your needs

  • For other Mac users, the Zoom Q3HD might be an excellent way to capture HD video at a relatively bargain price of $300 compared to higher end dedicated camcorders.

  • We experienced freedom to explore alternate avenues, to innovate, to take risks in ways that would have been difficult under the direct control of a district council.
  • patrons made it clear that while they appreciated that computers were a necessary part of a modern library, they did not consider them the most important part.
  • Our overall objective was to source a library system which: could be installed before Y2K complications immobilised us, was economical, in terms of both initial purchase and future license and maintenance support fees, ran effectively and fast by dial-up modem on an ordinary telephone line, used up-to-the minute technologies, looked good, and was easy for both staff and public to use, took advantage of new technology to permit members to access our catalogue and their own records from home, and let us link easily to other sources of information – other databases and the Internet. If we could achieve all of these objectives, we’d be well on the way to an excellent service.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • "How hard can it be" Katipo staff wondered, "to write a library system that uses Internet technology?" Well, not very, as it turned out.
  • Koha would thus be available to anyone who wanted to try it and had the technical expertise to implement it.
  • fairly confident that we already had a high level of IT competence right through the staff, a high level of understanding of what our current system did and did not do.
  • ensure the software writers did not miss any key points in their fundamental understanding of the way libraries work.
  • The programming we commissioned cost us about 40% of the purchase price of an average turn-key solution.
  • no requirement to purchase a maintenance contract, and no annual licence fees.
  • An open source project is never finished.
  • Open source projects only survive if a community builds up around the product to ensure its continual improvement. Koha is stronger than ever now, supported by active developers (programmers) and users (librarians)
  • There are a range of support options available for Koha, both free and paid, and this has contributed to the overall strength of the Koha project.
  • Vendors like Anant, Biblibre, ByWater, Calyx, Catalyst, inLibro, IndServe, Katipo, KohaAloha, LibLime, LibSoul, NCHC, OSSLabs, PakLAG, PTFS, Sabinet, Strategic Data, Tamil and Turo Technology take the code and sell support around the product, develop add-ons and enhancements for their clients and then contribute these back to the project under the terms of the GPL license.
  • FRBR [5] arrangement, although of course it wasn’t called that 10 years ago, it was just a logical way for us to arrange the catalogue. A single bibliographic record essentially described the intellectual content, then a bunch of group records were attached, each one representing a specific imprint or publication.
  • The release of Koha 3.0 in late 2008 brought Koha completely into the web 2.0 age and all that entails. We are reconciled to taking a small step back for now, but the FRBR logic is around and RDA should see us back where want to be in a year or so – but with all the very exciting features and opportunities that Koha 3 has now.
  • In the early days, the Koha list appeared to have been dominated by programmers but I have noticed a lot more librarians participating now
  • "Adopt technology that keeps data open and free, abandon[ing] technology that does not." The time is right for OSS.
