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.

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“.

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.
