The open-ILS blog has announced a release of their open source integrated library system demo available, if I am not mistaken, as a Firefox plugin/extension.
Month: March 2005
out of town
I’m out of town until Tuesday. Anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area feel free to come to my talk Monday at 2 pm at UNC, details here.
I’ll say it again: folksonomy
Folksonomy, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mess. An impressionistic transcript by Cory Doctorow.
It’s a deep philosophical issue: Ontology is a controversial subject. The idea that it’s possible to cleave nature at the joints is controversial. Yes, there are countries, Uzbekistan is a country, but ask a physicist or a biologist and the categories are very fraught.
ALA and porn, other people’s opinions
I don’t spend a lot of time reading what the American Family Association says about ALA and pornography, but from time to time I check in. You never know when someone will use one of these pages as a “to do” list and show up at your library. So, without further commentary – except to note that “pray” appears before “reaserch” on the AFA’s list of steps — please see Plan2Succeed’s Library Porn Removal page and The American Family Association’s Library Internet Filtering page
hi – 17mar
Hi. This blog has tags, thanks to the WordPress tags beta plugin. Actually right now it has one tag, affectionately called “tag” but I’ll be changing that. I figured if I was ever going to even try to backtag 1100 or so entries, I’d better get on it before Winter was over.
