Liberate the Library!

A while back I popped an email to Stephen from Library Stuff asking him what he thought about a few amazon-esque developments I could see having an amazing impact on a traditional library catalogue and online presence... stephen was kind enough to post it to library stuff (this was down at the time) and it got a bit of interest but picking up this:

Amazon is calling its program "Look Inside the Book II". It would let online browsers search by terms like "Caravaggio," "sans-culottes," or "Osama bin Laden," and then see a list of books mentioning the term along with the sentence that contains it. Browsers could then choose to see several pages around that citation. http://news.com.com/2100-1025_3-5049506.html?tag=fd_top [vis elearningpost]

has got me back onto it... 

It's huuuuge! The potential of adding features such as:

  • Reading / Searching the 'blurb'
  • Seeing the book
  • READING WHAT YOUR PEERS & TEACHERS THINK ABOUT IT!
  • Searching the entire text!

To what are, let's face it, pretty useless catalogues for anything but finding if they have a particular book and if it's in (well, at every uni I've been at so far - and this is the fourth in Melb!)

Anyone out there seen any of these implemented in a library-kinda system? Wow! Could even start listmania!

A weblog that is "primarily a service to our learning community (K.U.Leuven Japanese Studies), as an internet-filter and a means of providing updates to study materials (especially Methodology and Japanese Information Processing, Japanese 3 and Law and Society)" [via ebn]

Cool! This looks like an excellent example of how weblogs could be used in my settings too!

An interesting looking course in using blogs & wikis [via carvingCode]

[Later: Let me rephrase that, this is absolutely excellent... a must visit for anyone interested in the use of personal publishing tools in education!]

Lilia of Mathemagenic is pondering how people search her weblog, I look for stuff that I've noted in her weblog on my blog :O) Good reflection on how we use these tools though!
