A stream of digital consciousness, originally uploaded by Paul Hagon. My research co-investigator Warren Cheetham shares a link to this photo by Paul Hagon and writes: “Another photo (also by Paul Hagon) from that same conference presentation by Mal, has a line that I try to always keep in mind when planning and thinking about digital library services – “Don’t try to replicate analogue processes””

What our users think of our library!, originally uploaded by Newport Public Library. What our users think of our library! We asked our users to list 5 words describing how they feel about the library. This is the resulting Wordle.

International collaboration is needed if we want to make this world a more livable place.” Jesus Lau, President, Mexican Library Association We just submitted a draft of an article based on the academic library data from our surveys and focus groups last […]

On Tuesday, we visited the […]
