Blog Posts Across Library 2.0

Over 3000 members

Sometime in the past two weeks, Library 2.0 went over 3000 members. While I am well aware of the fact that many people just join and never return, that number is amazing to me. The community is also truly international in scope and membership. Here are the countries that have at least visited the network along with the number of visits (Google Analytics) since August 15, 2007: Country/Territory Visits United States 43798 United Kingdom 2818 Canada 2758 Australia 1897 India 1199 Netherlands 709… Continue

Let's build a better online world for our kids

We are a group of educators who for the past 7 months did an extensive research about on-line research and the education world. According to studies most students (and teachers) have difficulty conducting an efficient on-line research and most do not understand how Google or other search engines work. Students, well versed in IM and SN (Social Networking) stumble when they conduct on-line research. Even with technology many Librarians and Educators still use the web in isolation. Many find gre… Continue

OpenBook -- Book Covers and Data for your WordPress Blog or Website

The OpenBook plugin for WordPress is now available, version 1.0 beta. OpenBook is for book reviewers, book bloggers, library webmasters, anyone who wants to put book covers and data on their WordPress blog or website. The data comes from Open Library, a neutral source of book data. I built OpenBook for my own interest, but thought others might benefit from it too. OpenBook is an open source product. You can download it, view/modify the code as you like. It is just in beta phase, but it seems to… Continue

an oldie but goodie, hello Central Library

The Houston Public Library just reopened the Central Library after a two-year, $17 million renovation. Amidst the hoopla that involved, a few things were rolled out quietly: a new Web site, a new brand, the Summer Reading Program, the HPL Mobile Express (a computer lab on wheels), and HPL Express Discovery Green (a reading room in the new downtown Houston park, where the library is providing free wifi to the entire 12 acres of the park). I'm breathing a sigh of relief that the Central Library i… Continue

The Future and Past of Information...and Libraries...and Google Books

For over my entire career in libraries, I've been reading about the doom and gloom, end of the world-type stories about libraries, but I wanted to post about this particle, The Library in the New Age in the New York Review of Books. I enjoyed, and there are a number of reasons that it is very relevant to libraries and Web 2.0. First, it takes a historical perspective in understanding the question, "What is information?" here's a quote:… Continue

Surfing the Open Web: OpenBook WordPress Plugin

I have begun work on a WordPress plugin to easily insert book data into blog posts such as book reviews. The plugin will use “open web” technology, including WordPress open source code and OpenLibrary book data. It makes sense then to call this plugin, “OpenBook”. While I have a solid background in web development, I am new to WordPress plugin development, PHP, and open source practices, so this will be a bit of learning experience. I think the process might be of some interest to others, so I w… Continue

Four Big Libraries: I Pick OpenLibrary

Is there One Big Library? Or are there many distinctive local libraries? I think both exist. For present purposes, I am interested in a comparison of the four big digital sources of book data: Amazon, LibraryThing, OpenLibrary, and WorldCat (which I will call libraries). I am in the early stages of designing a WordPress plugin that will allow people to easy insert book data (cover image, title, author, publisher, etc.) into their blog posts. For the first cut, I will select one of these four as… Continue

a non-librarian in library-dom

I tend to hang out with techies in my spare time, and the one comment I get from them quite frequently is how surprised they are at the amount of librarians in social networking. Blogging, wikis, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace... you name it, you will find librarians (and, because of them, their libraries) represented. Librarians are doing wonderful things with YouTube and SlideShare and other tools. And it's getting noticed. When I migrated to library-dom, more than five years ago, I don't know wh… Continue

The blog was the primary colonizer for the barren landscape of online identity. The presence of this coloni… Continue

Webtoys I'm playing with...

I've been playing around on the web more lately and figured it might be a good idea to keep track of the things I've been doing/creating/whatever. A blog post on a Library 2.0 group site seems like as good a location as any. Some of these tools are ones I was introduced to through my Media Literacy and Youth class, some I saw on blogs like Infodoodads, and others are new features of sites I've been using for a while, like Google Maps and photobucket. Most have ended up on the "… Continue

CIL 2008 Monday April 7 - Keynote address Lee Rainie

Lee Rainie, a dynamic man who speaks at warp speed, presented the latest finding of the Pew Foundations research into library use. The most compelling finding that he presented today was that TEENAGERS comprise the largest segment of the population using public libraries. This is a CRITICAL finding. I think of the some libraries where teenagers are made to feel unwanted, where staff are trying to limit teen use of social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook) and diminish their exuberan… Continue

Tea for (forty) two!

posted by Jeanne Munn Bracken As advertised in this space a few weeks ago, we decided at the Lincoln, Massachusetts library that Afternoon Tea is a lost art and we wanted to find it again. The idea came from our Mystery Monday book group; we read books by theme each year and, although we have not chosen ulinary mysteries yet, we are well aware of (and fond of) that subgenre. So we (that's the editorial "we", since it was all my fault, as usual) decided to have a Sunday Afternoon Tea. The "pric… Continue

Death, Be Not Proud

Posted by Jeanne Munn Bracken

The title words by John Donne, written four centuries ago (I looked it up) have been in my mind lately. We mystery lovers deal with, wallow in, foster death in many ways--with humor, with tragedy, with a certain "he deserved it" hubris.

Real death, though, when it comes, is not usually humorous, is sometimes tragic, and is hardly ever deserved.

Real death has visited me lately. My 67-year-old brother-in-law died just before Christmas o…
