I came across this lovely article from DLib showing some examples of digital libraries that use Greenstone, open source software for creating digital libraries.

woo hoo, now THAT’s a can of whoopass!!
Eli and Karen also alerted me to the CLA and ACLU’s new joint PATRIOT-bashing venture. Oh hell, I’ll just include it… making a radical departure from my usual no-graphics policy. Go fetch the image yourself, please don’t link directly to this one.

hi
Hi. I have just had another paid holiday. This job is the first time I have ever had a paid holiday. I even got a wee bit of time off to go to ALA. I like being employed.
ala shortish urls
ALA unveiled the new shorter URLs today. You know what? They really are shorter. They’re not short, but they are shorter and that’s a really big step in the right direction. See what you think, send feedback at feedback@ala.org. They will not know it’s broken if you don’t tell them, the website is too big for daily brokenness-checking.
why a correct website is important
Embarassingly, I was 30 minutes late to a Council meeting at the conference, missing two votes, because I had paid attention to one of the many schedules on the website, and it was wrong. I wrote a pointed letter, got a sincere apology, and I guess I get to cross my fingers for next time.
