oclc vs library hotel monster grudge match of the century

Posted on 05Oct03 by jessamyn
LLRX has a good analysis of the OCLC vs Library Hotel debate and issues involved. It seems that having the Library Hotel use a different classification scheme [many of which have been mentioned in these pages over the past few weeks] is not really addressing the 800-pound-gorilla issue w/r/t/ OCLC but might be a great way to highlight other such schemes. [thanks jen]

book wars on DVD

If you’re one of those DVD lovers, you’ll be happy to know that Bookwars is available on DVD. I saw this movie about NYC street booksellers a few years back and loved it.

Have you ever seen so many uses of the word “probably” in a press-release type article before? Scientists think they have a new way of drying out waterlogged books… but they dont seem quite sure yet. [thanks john]
