It’s been such a busy week! The fact that tomorrow’s Friday is almost sustaining me at this point.
Anway, I hope to have finished the rebuttal to the “Changing Nature of the Catalog” report (see yesterday’s post) by tonight. So far, all I can say is “Wow.” There’s just a little bit of anger fueling this thing. Not that Mann doesn’t make some good point, and not that Calhoun’s article isn’t flawed in some ways… but WOW. (More on this later.)
In the mean time, here are the cool things I’ve found recently:
- New on my furl:
- Epic 2014 (an 8-minute futuristic documentary forecasting, among other things the advent of Googlezon.com – the step-child of Google and Amazon.com’s [fictional] merger)
- NCSU‘s new catalog (built with the user in mind)
- The SirsiDynix Institute (an ongoing and free webinar series for librarians)
- ExpressPDF (create PDFs for free)
- CIL presentations online
- New biblioblogs I’ve found and subscribed to
Thanks for the links, especially the blogs – all very interesting, and I’m always interested in finding new Australian ones!
Wow, CW. I’m impressed with your time-stamp. Isn’t that 3:39am in Australia?!? You really are taking the early-riser challenge!
Heh – I’m not that dedicated, Iris! Not sure, but I was probably writing that comment at either 5:39am or 6:39am, definitely not 3:39am!
Well, that makes me feel a little bit better. :)
