NYTimes: Questions and Praise for Google Web Library

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 Would Google users eventually forgo the experience of holding a book, actually seeing a historical document, the serendipity of slow research?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.

Candidates for RSS/Web Feed Registries | Major New RSS
by Gerry Mckiernan 17 Dec '04

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

Mr. Kumaresan I have not come across any specific "library space standards" in India atleast. But there are standards in other countries, which are followed.But what i want to suggest is, there are space,furniture and equipment standards for making libraries accessible to the disabled, which could be followed, and will also work for other normal people.I had come across some of these references during my seminar paper on "Adaptive technologies : facilitating access to information for the disabled." please note that these standards have not been made in India.
