    • anonymous
       
      Does this mean that you can set a preference to fill local holds first? I don't really understand these checkin modifiers...

Book Places in the Digital Age « The Digital Digest - 0 views

  •  
    The article offers an interesting model of a "Book Place"-- a sort of combination library/bookstore of the future that offers things like printed books on demand if they're not in the store (thanks to the awesome Espresso machine and the 7 million titles it has on EspressoNet), and rental/subscription services for users-- including DRM free options for electronic media.

  •  
    Tablet Revolution: Healthy Skepticism Tablets and mobile computing have been the subject of a lot of Internet hype. A quick search for "tablet revolution" will confirm this, but if we're appropriately skeptical about the hype cycle, we'll want to test the impact of tablets on our library ourselves.

    An idea that came from the "Risks and Rewards" conference to give away skateboards branded with the libraries logo. While it would serve for good advertising and word of mouth, I question how much additional patronage it would bring.

A "print" format limit in a MARC-based catalog | Bibliographic Wilderness - 0 views

  • What this blog post is about: How do you figure out if a bib is “print” or not from a MARC record?
  • The problem is that the origins of AACR2-MARC sort of assume print as a default, there’s no leader bytes or 007 or 008 code for ‘print’, print is sort of the absence of anything else.
  •  
    The burgeoning presence of ebooks on library catalogs is producing an unexpected problem-- what if the patron wants a print version of a book as opposed to an ebook version? How do you tease that out of MARC? RDA's GMD appears to be helpful, but not a useful as the Leader, 007, or 008 fields.

The Bedbug Bunk: How the New York Times Used Fear and Misinformation to Spread Public L... - 0 views

  • Brooke Borel, author of the forthcoming book Suck: The Tale of the Bed Bug, has also responded to Saint Louis’s article. She points out that Saint Young is outright wrong in declaring that bedbugs have only just “discovered a new way to hitchhike” through books. “This is an ancient pest, and it has been doing its thing for at least thousands of years. Probably far, far longer.” She also reiterates what entomologists have been telling me over the past two days. The risk is low. “You aren’t very likely to pick up bed bugs in these types of public spaces. The bugs are far more highly concentrated in residences, where they can breed and multiply in close proximity to their food source.”
  •  
    Reports of bedbug demise have been greatly exaggerated, it seems.
  •  
    That's a relief. I was itchy just thinking about that.

    Not exactly the first time one of these has been tried, but very close to it. The success or failure ultimately isn't how much access it provides but how much it will serve the needs of the user public.
