I always think it's funny when  topics like this cause me to notice things I neglected before.  I was looking for something on the Frick site and noticed their Rolly-o search engine!

As for my search engine, did one to cover the major Buffy sites, entitled Buffyland.

Information Monopoly

Tagged:  •    •  

As most people in the information science world, I am watching the
debut of Amazon's Kindle with great interest. And I can already hear
from sects of my friends saying "told you libraries were no longer
necessary" and I can hear the other side saying "it will never replace
my book. I want to turn pages and I need the tangible and tactile
aspects of the book: the feel and smell." To quote Giles "Books smell." I am still kind of on the
fence. This thing is capable of some amazing, alluring things:

Archives, libraries and politics

Tagged:  •    •    •  

A very interesting article regarding the opening of Clinton's presidential library can be found on at the Chicago Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/services/newspaper/printedition/monday/chi...

What is I find most interesting is the fact that Hillary Clinton's presidential rivals want the library fully accessible to dig up things to use against her.  It makes me wonder if this is the type of situation that is going to put America's archivists in the forefront again.

Another Social Annotation Site

By the way, I am absolutely in love with Zotero. Anyone who does an extensive amount of research online will find it absolutely invaluable. I also just came across Diigo http://www.diigo.com/help/about

Their site is pretty awesome as well. Waiting for my invite to try the new application out. But you gotta love anything that lets you create virtual sticky notes!

Speaking of folksonomies

Tagging was compared in class to what libraries have been doing forever, making controlled vocabularies.  And to illustrate that, just wanted to share the new thesaurus on the American Folklore's Society Page. http://et.afsnet.org/
