Companies and information: The leaky corporation | The Economist - 0 views
-
the WikiLeaks threat and the persistent leaking of other supposedly confidential corporate information have brought an important issue to the fore.
-
Companies are creating an ever-growing pile of digital information, from product designs to employees' e-mails.
-
Much of this information would do little damage if it seeped into the outside world; some of it, indeed, might well do some good. But some could also be valuable to competitors—or simply embarrassing—and needs to be protected. Companies therefore have to decide what they should try to keep to themselves and how best to secure it.

Academic Search Engine Spam and Google Scholar's Resilience Against it - 0 views
-
Web-based academic search engines such as CiteSeer(X), Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search and SciPlore have introduced a new era of search for academic articles.
-
With classic digital libraries, researchers have no influence on getting their articles indexed. They either have published in a publication indexed by a digital library, and then their article is available in that digital library, or they have not
-
citation counts obtained from Google Scholar are sometimes used to evaluate the impact of articles and their authors.

The Code4Lib Journal - How Hard Can It Be? : Developing in Open Source - 0 views
-
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.

A social media policy for a one branch public library » Librarians Matter - 1 views
-
“Social Media.” includes community created content sites like Blogs, Forums, Flickr, YouTube, Wikis, Social Networks, Twitter and other content sharing sites.
-
When you use social media your behaviour and content is not only a reflection of you but also of (our) Library.
-
Social Media Do’s Be Professional – Talk the way you would talk to real people in professional situations. Be Courteous – Be sure to listen & ask questions. Be Accurate – Check your facts before you post and provide supporting sources if necessary. Be Useful – Add content because you have something interesting to say, not for the sake of regular posting. Be Intelligent – Provide some value. Don’t talk down. Offer insight. Be Conversational – Avoid overly pedantic or “composed” language. Don’t be afraid to bring in your own personality. Be Non-confrontational – If you disagree, do so respectfully Be Prompt – If you need to moderate or respond to a comment do so as quickly as possible Be Identifiable – Use your real name and do not post anonymously. Be Transparent – Disclose that you work for the library if this is relevant and be honest & truthful. Social Media Don’ts Don’t Share Secrets –If you aren’t sure you can disclose something, just don’t do it. Think about privacy, confidentiality and permission to use other people’s content. Don’t Bad Mouth – Keep the language clean & avoid slamming people or companies. Don’t Complain – If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Don’t do Stupid Things – If it doesn’t help the Library or our community, don’t do it. Don’t Defame – Show everyone respect. Don’t Forget your day job –Social Media can consume you so don’t forget your other duties. Moderate, balanced use is essential.
