At Play in the Fields of Ideas: the wave of the present, part deux

http://datamuse.blogspot.com/2009/08/wave-of-present-part-deux.html

At Play in the Fields of Ideas. Thursday, August 13, 2009. The wave of the present, part deux. This morning's Inside Higher Ed brings the news that starting in 2011, current University of California Press journals. Will be available via JSTOR along with the backfile. The article mentions the Ithaka report from 2007 that libraries have to get more involved with scholarly publishing. I'm inclined to agree, but we also need to recognize that small libraries like mine have limited capacity to do that.

A news source I'm having increasing trouble taking seriously, even though it's my hometown paper), so let's continue with this little gem:. Speaking as an information professional, I have two things to say on that: 1) it's not clear that journalists ever did. Have such a monopoly, and 2) get over it. And Father Charles Coughlin?

At Play in the Fields of Ideas: April 2009

http://datamuse.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

At Play in the Fields of Ideas. Thursday, April 23, 2009. I just added you to my ALA membership renewal for the first time last month. For, I might add, a pretty penny. (Although ALA's maddeningly useless membership renewal confirmation does not tell me how much I actually paid for the package deal. Dear ALA: some of us itemize our tax returns. What kind of receipt doesn't include an amount paid? THIS is the ALA division chiefly concerned with technology in libraries? I'm still waiting to be impressed.

http://datamuse.blogspot.com/2009/08/brief-thought-on-8020-rule.html

At Play in the Fields of Ideas. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. A brief thought on the 80/20 rule. From Inside Higher Ed doesn't specifically mention information resources, but it got me thinking about a study I read earlier this year about Wikipedia being around 80% right in a given subject area. If that's true, it's another potential data point explaining why traditional reference sources are getting spanked. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A brief thought on the 80/20 rule.
