  1. Bousquet e-book only? That Sucks

    http://libraryjuicepress.com/blog/?p=420

    I just discovered the blog of Marc Bousquet via The Chronicle of Higher Education. Bousquet is great on the corporatization of the academy, in the U.S. and abroad.

    http://libraryjuicepress.com/blog/?p=419

    The L.A. Times reports that… the organizers of the this year’s Turin Book Fair made it an occasion to honor Israeli authors on the 60th anniversary of the nation’s founding, which understandably has made a lot of people angry. So, lots of boycotts of the book fair and heightened security. …

  3. BI on the War, anyone?

    http://libraryjuicepress.com/blog/?p=418

    Stephen Mitchell of UC Riverside wrote me the other day to ask, Do you know of academic libraries who have done BI on the War? We’re starting to talk about it and it occurred to me that someone has probably done a nice powerpoint somewhere that we could build on. …

    there. I do enjoy viewing the conversations in the group view, easy to see what's being said via the nifty little drop down windows. Day 4: Ask a Question in a Blog Comment: Done. Day 5: Comment on a Blog Post You Don't Agree With: And boy was I out of my league! Day 6: Engage another Commenter in Discussion: Easily done since the conversation is here.

    “I don’t trust crowds, because I think crowd psychology leads to irrationality and violence, and turns otherwise suppressed fears and superstitions into mass action.”–Rory Litwin at Library Juice. Rory Litwin’s post on Crowds extends to “cooperative user-generated content or the collaborative side of Web 2.0, and the emphasis on group work in higher education, both of which (in my view) de-emphasize and undervalue critical individual

    Is it time to call on universities, libraries and other public computing spaces to remove the Google Toolbar? I think so.” Annoyed Librarian entry “I was reminded of the value of privacy so many librarians claim to espouse while reading a post at Library Juice last week that had Rory Litwin engaging in a little revisionist history.

    we want them to think words like “Future,” “Hi Tech,” “Information Age,” and “Shiny Gadget!” Fellow librarians, don’t even use the word Book! It’s a no-no! Bad word! Hurts! Pretend you don’t even know what one is! Link: Librarian: Accept Yourself
