      Managed to post regularly to 2 blogs, one for work, calendar
    Events
      How do we tell people about LibraryCamp, for instance
        Without overwhelming the space
        Yet still getting people in

      Like Photos

      How can google find things if links no longer blogged?
    Remembering the search path rather than bookmarking
    Pontiac's "google us" commercial
    Spotlight indexing / Google Desktop search
      Smart Folders of irises
      Ship journals overseas to be OCR'ed into PDF, rely on Spotlight to index.
    What does it do to us as humans?
      To be overwhelmed by so much information?
      Needing to read all these blogs?
      How you feel if you miss something?
      A story about someone who read every single page of every single NYT issue
      What responsibility to libraries and schools have to help people sort this stuff out?

      Robin Williams editing videos of peoples' lives
        The Final Cut
    "We're all librarians .. but we have no collection development department!"
      "...or are we all the dept?"
      When will people start learning that?
      Or is it archives and records?
    "I think we've all kind of fallen behind in reading the NYT"
    When you got the daily paper, did you read the whole thing?
      What did you do then? What should you do now?
      What's different now?
    Easier to clip and share with others, thus increasing the flow even more.
      Clipping sections, used to be physical.
    If we're all reading the exact same blogs, do we become the same people?

    15 years ago, Ed read every Usenet article with the word FTP in it.
      Could do that in an hour a day back then.
        About 1/10 were interesting
      Ed has evolved further filtering / tagging / describing strategies since then
    Effort threshold in tagging
    "Information Therapy"

      Make the library a community space where people can do their stuff
      Role of the library in the community

      Need to reinvent ourselves continually like business
      technology is providing opportunities to do this
        NetFlix of books
    Live in a culture of fear, change driven by fear
      "Libraries are going to die!"
      What's a fad? How to be considered about change?
      Some things are actually good, circulation rising
    Is the problem that no one needs a service, or can no one find it?
    Is harnessing the Long Tail important?
      There's a cost to housing / circulating books
      7,000,000 ebooks can help with this
      More like, how do we build a library long tail?
        Books in the stacks disappear
        While new books go like crazy
    NetFlix model of libraries
      Queues can help with ordering queues
      Interlibrary Loan Service (ILS)
    Zoom Lends
      Can pay to get a book to come in from ILS / separate collection faster
        $1 - $2.75 or so
      If AADL doesn't have it, they walk to Borders and buy it and stick it into circulation?
      It's not an online thing, though.
      Not as public anymore, if service determined by money.
      Express delivery
        You get a box, we fill it, you send the box back, we fill it again.
        Sometimes piggy back on the pizza delivery guy
    Patrons / readers keep and buy books they check out
      Why not? We'll get another copy
      Administrative buy in
        Accounting
      Money kicked back from Amazon / etc
      But against library philosophy
