The Online Library Catalog: Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained?
Category: Clippings
From Current Cites (January 2007):
Markey, Karen. “The Online Library Catalog: Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained?” D-Lib Magazine (January/February 2007). - Markey throws down the gauntlet and challenges libraries to remake library catalogs partly in the model of Google (embrace “post-Boolean” probabilistic searching), partly in the model of classic library strategies (embrace subject cataloging), and partly something entirely new (expand with qualification metadata). She precedes her proposed solution to library catalog woes with a brief litany of failure and an examination of why people use Google. Even if you don’t agree with all of her points, there is plenty to ponder and discuss and (hopefully) lead to experimentation and implementation. My only criticism is that our gaze needs to encompass more than library catalogs at this point or else we’re toast before we begin. - RT
What libraries can learn from bookstores
Category: Clippings
From “What libraries can learn from bookstores: Applying bookstore design to public libraries” by Chris Rippel (INFOcus, January 2007):
In Why we buy: the science of shopping, Paco Underhill writes, “Take a look at that [bookstore] wall, over near the information desk. What do you see? This week’s New York Times ‘Best seller list,’ or rather a grimy copy of it, taped up. Next to it is a rather grimy photocopy of the Modern Library list of the so-called one-hundred top novels of the twentieth century. Have you ever seen a more pathetic display of such useful and interesting information?” Underhill advises that such lists should be reproduced in large print for easy reading over displays of books on the list.
