Notes from Module 3 reading, these are just random thoughts jotted down while reading:
- For me, libraries have always been a source of 'long tail' materials. I have some slightly, um, diverse tastes and growing up, the big public library downtown had many books on dead poets, the witch trials and surrealist artists. (not the kinds of things you find at a local bookshop) This article highlights that strength. Libraries need to promote this feature not just in the LIS community, but also to our customers.
- Web 2.0 means more collaboration but also brings up security issues, how do we ensure customer privacy?
- 'If we keep our content locked up on our own web sites and don't get it out there for people to use as they want to use it, then our content will fall by the wayside.” Jenny Levine, The Shifted Librarian
- I wonder how the copyright laws in Australia would apply to libraries that allow for down loadable music?
