#skyoclc: Anti-Trust-Verfahren gegen OCLC

Gemeinsam mit Innovative Interfaces strengt SkyRiver ein Anti-Trust-Verfahren gegen OCLC an. Aus der Pressemeldung:

In a move that could have far-reaching implications for competition in the library software and technology services industry, SkyRiver Technology Solutions, LLC has filed suit in federal court in San Francisco against OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. The suit alleges that OCLC, a purported non-profit with a membership of 72,000 libraries worldwide, is unlawfully monopolizing the markets for cataloging services, interlibrary lending, and bibliographic data, and attempting to monopolize the market for integrated library systems, by anticompetitive and exclusionary practices.

Hervorhebung von mir. Zum Verfahren gibt es seitens SkyRiver auch eine Kampagnenwebseite: http://www.choiceforlibraries.com/

Bei Twitter wird das Verfahren unter dem Hashtag #skyoclc diskutiert.

Mann badet in Bibliothekswaschbecken

In den USA wurde ein Mann verhaftet, der in einem Bibliothekswaschbecken gebadet hat. Neben zwei CDs aus der Bibliothek hatte er auch noch 2 Kilo Parmesan bei sich. Was es mit dieser eigentümlichen Zusammenstellung auf sich hat, wird leider nicht erläutert.

Live in the library 6: Mika Miko – Wild Bore

Live gigs in the library seems to be almost always been held by musicians who like to play soft and quiet.
Mika Miko, a punk rock band from Los Angeles, USA, like it hard and loud and they proved that on April 20th, 2008 in the Los Angeles Central Library.

I’m not really sure if this song is called “Wild Bore” or “Capricorinations”. Los Angeles punk rock librarians, can you help me? And if you find other nice clips of live gigs in libraries please tell me in the comments! All songs will be tagged with “live in the library“.

Update: Sorry, I embedded the wrong video clip…

Live in the library 5: No Age – Sleeper Hold

No Age call themselves a experimental / powerpop / punk band (at least on MySpace). On April 20th, 2008 they performed live at the Los Angeles Central Library.

Live in the library obviously doesn’t have to be nice and quiet.

If you find other clips of live gigs in libraries please tell me in the comments! All songs will be tagged with “live in the library“.

Walt Crawford: The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008

Walt Crawfords neuestes Werk über die (englischsprachige) Biblioblogosphäre ist nun bei Lulu.com verfügbar: The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008.

Liblogs–blogs written by library people, as opposed to official library blogs–provide some of today’s most interesting and useful library literature. This book offers a broad look at English-language liblogs as they are and as they’ve changed between 2007 and 2008. The book includes more than 600 blogs with detailed analysis of 27 metrics for 2007 and 2008 and changes from 2007 to 2008–and, for 143 of them, 2006 as well. Through tables, charts and text, we explore the liblog landscape.

Walt Crawford – der als Walt at Random bloggt und Cites & Insights produziert – und ist seit Jahren einer der wenigen wirklich genauen Beobachter der Biblioblogosphäre.
