NYTimes: The Fox Is in Microsoft's Henhouse (and Salivating)

Colleagues/ Firefox is on Fire! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Classic Overnight Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 The Fox Is in Microsoft's Henhouse (and Salivating) By RANDALL STROSS Published: December 19, 2004 [ http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/19/business/yourmoney/19digi.html ] FIREFOX is a classic overnight success, many years in the making. Published by the Mozilla Foundation, a nonprofit group supporting open-source software that draws upon the skills of hundreds of volunteer programmers, Firefox is a Web browser that is fast and filled with features that Microsoft's stodgy Internet Explorer lacks. Firefox installs in a snap, and it's free. [snip] With Firefox, open-source software moves from back-office obscurity to your home, and to your parents', too. (Your children in college are already using it.) It is polished, as easy to use as Internet Explorer and, most compelling, much better defended against viruses, worms and snoops. [more]

NYTimes: Questions and Praise for Google Web Library
by Gerry Mckiernan 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

Questions and Praise for Google Web Library By FELICIA R. LEE [ http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/18/books/18libr.html ] Published: December 18, 2004 When Randall C. Jimerson, the president of the Society of American Archivists, heard of Google's plan to convert certain holdings at Oxford University and at some of the leading research libraries in the United States into digital files, freely searchable over the Web, he asked, "What are they thinking?" Mr. Jimerson had worries. Who would select the material? How would it be organized and identified to avoid mountains of decontextualized excerpts? Would Google users eventually forgo the experience of holding a book, actually seeing a historical document, the serendipity of slow research? But in recent interviews, many scholars and librarians applauded the announcement by Google, the operator of the world's most popular Internet search service, to digitize some of the collections at Oxford, the University of Michigan, Stanford and the New York Public Library.

17 Dec '04

Colleagues/ I am greatly interested in learning of additional candidates for any one of my Web feed registries: _RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ] RSS(sm): Rich Site Services is a categorized registry of library services that are delivered or provided through RSS/XML, Atom, or other types of Web feeds. RSS is an initialism for RDF Site Summary / Rich Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication. In general, for each entry, the home institution library is listed, as is a hotlinked entry for the item. When available, a link to the feed, or an associated information page, is provided. ************************************************************************ _eFeeds_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/eFeeds.htm ] _eFeeds(sm): Web Feeds from Electronic Journals_ is a categorized registry of electronic journals that offer RSS/XML, Atom, or other Web feeds. Publisher-specific and vendor Web feeds are categorized in a separate category. ************************************************************************ _B-Feeds(sm)_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/B-Feeds.htm ] _B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_ is a categorized registry of sites that offer RSS/XML, Atom, or other Web feeds, to compilations, directories, lists, reviews, or other relevant sources for/or about academic or scholarly books or monographic works. ************************************************************************ RSS/Web Feeds _General Bibliography_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/GenBib.htm ] ************************************************************************ In addition, I wish to note the publication and self-archived availability of an *Most Excellent* review article on RSS by Judith Wusteman (Department of Library and Information Studies, University College Dublin, Ireland) "RSS: The Latest Feed", _Library Hi Tech_ vol 22, no 4, pp. 404 - 413, 2004. Abstract The number of library-related RSS and Atom applications is increasing daily. But, as yet, the formats and technology involved are far from stable. This article looks at the current state of the field, discusses future developments and considers implications for the library [ http://www.ucd.ie/wusteman/lht/wusteman-rss.html ] Thanks (again) Judith, and Thanks (again) for citing my work {:-) Seasons Greetings! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Irish Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu
