We underscored the importance of Samuel Greene's "Personal Relations between Librarians and Readers?" and RUSA's The Future of Reference Services Papers. In addition, the group went over the subject outline for reference under the LSC 553 link, with each person contributing what he or she knew about each subject. The topics for next week will be metadata, Library 2.0, information retrieval, Google vs. Opac, cataloging and user-created content. We hope to see you there.

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:52:54 +0000 L_Allen 93336 We talked about a number of different topics, and tried to relate them all back to technology (especially since we're supposed to be able to carry a narrow focus through a number of different subject areas).

We compared and contrasted "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush (June 1945, Atlantic Monthly) and Michael Gorman's "Web 2.0: The Sleep of Reason" and "Google in God's Mind". Gorman is a traditionalist who who thinks technology should be a tool of the librarian, and not fundamental to the profession, while Bush, who wrote his article within a decade of the military's first networked computers, really saw how technology could potentially be applied in the future to ease (and shift) the burdens of the information profession.

The role of information systems, and how it changed from mathematical calculations intended to save human labor to networking and communications (Web 2.0 emphasizes the communicative skills/tools such as podcasts, wikis, blogs, social taggings, mash-ups, and other methods of utilizing input from users).

open source v. proprietary software (the articles for this are from the June 2005 MIT Technology Review: Lessig and Epstein's dialogue "The People Own Ideas!" "The Creators Own Ideas" "Lessig's Rebuttal to Epstein")

"The user is not broken" - K. Schneider

Virtual libraries

"The World is Spiky" (Oct 2005, Atlantic Monthly)

We reviewed 555.

"What is a Library Anymore, Anyway" (available through First Monday)

We plan on talking about management, collection development, and related topics next time.
