    This article mentions the court case involving the Camdenton school district, where the library's use of filtering was found to be unconstitutional. The school district agreed to stop blocking LGBT websites, submitted to 18 months of monitoring, and had to pay $125,000 in attorneys' fees.

    An interesting approach about how much of today's material is filtered by likes and preferences so users tend to see only what they want to. What stands out is the approach is to use keywords of material the user agrees with to show the opposing viewpoints.

    The article is interesting for what it gets wrong and for what it brings up. The phrase "Boise Public Library's new Enterprise Discover System, which was funded by a consortium of more than 15 Idaho libraries" makes it sound like this was a home grown discovery system, but it's actually Sirsi-Dynix's Enterprise system. It's interesting because it's one of the first general news articles I've seen showing awareness of a discovery service, which means they are gradually filtering their way into the public realm of what libraries are supposed to be about.

  • In the image below, you can see the different brain activities for various tasks that the brain switches between. It jumps back and forth as you focus on each task for a few seconds at a time:
  • What's more is that Clifford Nass, a researcher at Stanford assumed that those who multitask heavily will nonetheless develop some other outstanding skills. He thought that they will be amazing at 1. filtering information, 2. being very fast at switching between the tasks and 3. keeping a high working memory. He found that none of these 3 points are true: We were absolutely shocked. We all lost our bets. It turns out multitaskers are terrible at every aspect of multitasking. People who multitask a lot are in fact a lot worse at filtering irrelevant information and also perform significantly worse at switching between task, compared to singletaskers.
  • Quick last fact: listening to music whilst working isn't multitasking

    [People who multitask] are not being more productive-they just feel more emotionally satisfied from their work.
