I’m installing MT-Blacklist tonight, and will be grooving through a few other checklist items. (For those of you reading Free Range Librarian for the MT installation issues, I upgraded mt.cfg without incident, simply by renaming files, and did not need to re-initialize the software. Foosh, it just worked.) It’s a good night to piddle on […]

(And who doesn’t like Didion?) I’m testing a few features for MT 3.14 and musing over the changes between the old templates and the new ones. “Testing,” in this case, meaning tweaking the same one-line cron code until my hair falls out. “Musing,” in this case, meaning disciplining myself to read the old and new […]

Went to a CLA preconference today on FRBR, and drank the KoolAid! I so get it. From the cataloger’s point of view, it is nice and tidy. From the public service point of view, FRBR (or things FRBRish, such as RedLightGreen) is absolutely the best thing to happen to the library catalog since the invention […]

http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/CurrentCites/2004/cc04.15.10.html I really love Current Cites, freely available by e-mail and the Web. It’s scholarly, it’s funny and interesting, and it points me to resources that haven’t popped up on my radar scope. It needs an RSS feed, and I just wrote to tell them that. At any rate, in the latest issue, we learn […]

Intriguing: a tool that assigns LCSH automatically. Catalogablog notes, “The software costs 60k, only those with deep pockets need check this one out.” Er–priced a cataloger lately? Wonder how well it works? Stay tuned. I continue to be impressed by many of the automated indexing tools, which I see as helper tools with the potential […]

Karen Coyle posted to Web4Lib, “It was reported yesterday in the NY Times, and today in Salon, that the FCC has ‘temporarily’ shut down payments under e-rate due to a change in the way the program is administered. Apparently, the FCC claims that there was fraud due to lax accounting rules. Meanwhile, schools and libraries […]

The practical question I have for my readers is whether you can recommend a comprehensive, freely accessible concordance site. The other observation I have, as reductive as it may seem, is that the Web may seem impersonal and mechanical to some, but many of the great resources on the Web are very genuine personifications of […]

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/11/23/BUG5D37C7T1.DTL A computer break-in at Bancroft Library (UCB) highlights one of my concerns about RFID: many library servers aren’t secure to begin with–and that, hand in hand with a potent technology such as RFID (full disclosure: I don’t have any indication Bancroft plans to implement RFID), could lead to compromised user privacy. You can read […]
